Are you sometimes unsure as to which is the most recent version of a document?
Summary
- Follow a standardised version code methodology as a suffix to your file names.
- Ensure everyone works from the same copy by emailing links to a single shared version rather than sending copies as attachments or use a collaborative system such as a Wiki.
- Use Document Control Sheets to record the document status and history as a standard part of formal and heavily revised documents.
- Make it easy to identify drafts and final versions at a glance.
- Decide whether you should retain draft versions once a final version has been produced.
