DocToucan documentation · Free and Pro editions
Install and activate DocToucan
Start with DocToucan Free, then upgrade to the Pro edition of the same product when required.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.8 or newer.
- PHP 8.1 or newer.
- WooCommerce only when product-resource workflows are required.
Install Free
- Install and activate DocToucan. Usage sharing is optional.
- Open DocToucan → Home for library and documentation draft starters, or All Documents to manage existing records.
- Review Article presentation under DocToucan → Settings. DocToucan Wide is the recommended default.
- Create a Document or insert a DocToucan block on a page. Starter pages remain Draft until you publish them.
Upgrade to Pro
- Download the Pro ZIP from your customer account and install it through Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Activate Pro as the replacement edition; DocToucan deactivates Free automatically.
- Activate your existing Pro licence, then open DocToucan → Pro Setup and complete the checklist.
- Verify protected storage, search tables and scheduled governance on DocToucan → Pro Status.
Recovery rule: activating Free again is a downgrade and preserves central Documents, Pro policy metadata and protected manifests. Paid workflows require an entitled Pro edition. Never delete protected storage manually.
