+# E-Documents overview
+
+Electronic documents (e-documents) are the backbone of modern business transactions. They encompass vital documents, such as invoices and receipts in both directions (delivery and receipt). They also add capabilities for document status–related messaging between access points.
+
+Our commitment to enhancing your business processes led to the development of a groundbreaking app that's dedicated to e-documents in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This app serves as a robust platform for efficient e-document management.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> To use these capabilities, install the E-Document Core app in your environment.
+
+The E-Document app can be used in countries/regions where companies require specialized e-document handling to comply with local regulations. The app provides a solid foundation that can be easily extended to meet specific local or industry requirements.
+
+The documentation explains e-documents in detail. It shows the capabilities of the app and demonstrates how it seamlessly adapts to cater to your organization's unique needs. To get started with e-documents, see the following articles.
