Summary:Systems and methods for facilitating version control over an electronic document, the electronic document being subject to a distribution sequence among at least first and second reviewing parties over a network. The method includes receiving an instruction set from a source client. Based on the instruction set, at least one editable field populated with content is embedded in the electronic document. The progress of the electronic document through the distribution sequence is monitored over the network. The content of the editable field being edited by the first reviewing party is determined. In response to determining that the content has been edited by the first reviewing party, the edited electronic document is provided to the second reviewing party. The electronic document being electronically signed by the first and second reviewing parties is validated. The editable field is locked from further electronic editing.
