Web Manuals Rolls Out XML Document Management Tool

Business aviation document management specialist Web Manuals has introduced software to help users work with data and records in XML format. The XML Editor feature of its platform allows aviation companies to import and manage native XML documents so that they can review, distribute, and control OEM manuals alongside existing web documents and PDF files.

Multiple aircraft manufacturers provide operators with maintenance and technical manuals in XML format, a structured data language that follows strict schemas and manufacturer-specific standards. Now that these can be managed in the Web Manuals platform, aircraft operators and support companies will no longer have to maintain separate systems for some manuals, or manually convert content into editable formats before uploading.

“Our new XML function will eliminate the need for multiple documentation tools and fragmented workflows,” explained Web Manuals chief product officer Richard Sandström. “We are helping operators improve efficiency, maintain consistency, and simplify compliance management.”

The Swedish company now supports more than 190 aircraft operators worldwide and has been active in the business aviation sector for six years. In May 2025, it introduced its Amelia Co-Author editing tool using artificial intelligence.
