An improved method and system for managing the traceability of numerical, alphabetical, alphanumeric, character, or string entities such as critical constants or key calculations, equations, functions, and procedures that automatically enables the traceability of information entities without requiring significant manual intervention by a system user. The system allows a user to enter critical information such a critical constant or key calculation into a first document. When the user copies / exports the critical information from the first document and pastes / imports the information to a second document, the system automatically generates meta-data describing the provenance of the information, and propagates the provenance meta-data from the first document to the second document. By accessing provenance meta-data contained within respective documents, the user can track where critical information within a document originally came from, and which intermediary document or documents the critical information came from last.

Systems and methods are disclosed that track a document within a file system using document identifier (DOCID) that is preserved during safe save operations.
