Best Practices

  • Use intuitive folder and document titles that accurately describe the contents found within the folder or document

  • Add a file extension to all documents

  • Use the format YYYY-MM-DD for dates in document titles to ensure dated documents are displayed in chronological order

    • Example: 2024-07-04 Independence Day Parade Flyer (PDF)

  • Avoid using underscores in names when possible as this may affect the searchability of the item
