[ File Names ]

When facing a multitude of documents, and versions of documents, there are some simple things to do to help manage them.

For simplicity, I find the file name is the easiest thing to use to manage my own documents.

Establish a consistent file naming convention. If outside your organisation’s system, there’s flexibility, so use what makes sense to you. It’s useful to include the date in the file name.

Have a method of version control. The simplest way is to change the file name.

For documents under development, keep the history but preface the file name with “SS”, for superseded.
