In one embodiment, the format is compliant with the Security Exchange Commission'"'"'s EDGAR database system. The system can split the document into a plurality of sub-documents that can be assigned to different editors.

After the editors have made revisions, if any, to their respective sub-documents, the system merges the sub-documents into a single EDGAR-compliant document for submission to the EDGAR system.
