The uncertain file

Two files have nearly identical names and no version note.

Two files have nearly identical names and no version note.

A saved item is easier to use when its reason travels with it. Dates, sources, and short explanations can do more than an elaborate filing system. Start with the items you actually expect to revisit and leave uncertainty visible.

Mark which is current and what changed in it.

If the difficulty remains, write what happened without blaming the attempt. A clearer problem is useful evidence for the next version.
