Version documents clearly
This guide explains simple document versioning: use descriptive filenames with dates/versions, keep a brief change log, store in a shared folder, and avoid parallel conflicting copies.

Name files clearly
Use consistent prefixes, topic, and YYYY-MM-DD or vX.Y in filenames.
