How Vela works

From the source document to a change your team can review.

  1. Choose your sources

    Give Vela access to the project files and conversations it needs.

  2. Link the records

    Vela connects requirements to equipment and milestones, with a source for each finding.

  3. Check what changed

    See which orders and tasks a revised document affects.

  4. Review the next step

    Vela drafts the update or reply. Your team approves it before anything is sent or changed.

The records behind the work.

Choose the project records Vela can read. Each finding links back to its source.

Your team approves changes before Vela writes them back.
