This invention pertains to streamlining the process of annotating or extracting data content from a document or set of documents and generating a written report/review document about a specific source document or set of documents, whereby the report contains content generated by one or multiple users. The invention describes an annotation-based document management system that includes at least three interrelated regions of a graphical user interface and enables users to quickly access, from a list of documents, locations of interest within each document. Additionally, the invention automatically converts one's annotation/notes pertaining to a source document/set of documents into a compiled report/review document, with relevant location references linked to the source document/set of documents. The enables a faster transition from annotation/notes to a final document, ensures accurate location referencing, and simplifies the process of checking the content of the report/review document against the relevant locations in the source document/set of documents.
