django-legaltext helps to manage legal text versioning.

Legaltext is a Django application to help managing legal text versioning (e.g. terms of condition, pr privacy policy). It also supports versioning of the corresponding checkbox labels.

Features

The application consists of multiple parts and helpers:

• Models to maintain legal texts, their versions and checkboxes

• Model field to store the accepted version of a legal text (with support to auto-fetched default of current version)
