More specifically, the present invention provides a convenient way to organize multiple documents and store them within a single file in a manner that facilitates exchange of the collection of documents and collaboration on the collection by a group of individuals. The metaphor of an envelope is used to store multiple documents and other information. Envelopes may be copied and routed or transferred to a group of individuals. Routing or transfer of envelopes is accomplished via an email transport or other mechanisms. The tracking log tracks actions performed by entities on the envelope or on documents contained therein. Multiple copies of the envelopes may be synchronized using an email or other transport system.Other References
