# Cognos Documentation

#### It’s simple! NetVisn automatically documents *everything* in the Cognos Content Store and keeps it all up to date.

This covers all personal and public folders, data sources, security groups, members, memberships, roles and accounts. And hyperlinks within the documentation make navigation fast and easy to explore or review any part of it.  
Documentation’s rich feature set also:

- **Displays BI documentation for objects in logical categories** such as specifications, data sources, properties, data lineage, security, database usage, etc.
- **Relationships between objects are instantly visible** so you can see which package and model a report is dependent upon.
- **Interacts with Version Control**, automatically archiving changes in report specifications.
