Choosing a logical and consistent way to name and organize your files allows you and others to easily find and use them. Ideally, the best time to reflect on how to name and structure the documents and folders you create is at the beginning of a project.

Agreeing on a naming convention will help ensure consistency, making it easier to search for and correctly identify your files, and preventing version control issues when working on files collaboratively. Carefully organizing your files will save you time and frustration, helping you and your colleagues find what you need when you need it.
