Hello Dave

Another thought to help in keeping track of files and this comes from the day 
when I used to earn money in tech writing.

First draft of a file and its filename use a sequence number and the creator’s 
initials, for example IG7005-ManagingGraphicObjects-01-PS.odt.
First review of a file, the reviewer adds their initials to the filename, for 
example IG7005-ManagingGraphicObjects-01-PS-DB.odt.

Second draft of a file, the sequence number increases changing the filename and 
the creator adds their initials, for example 
IG7005-ManagingGraphicObjects-02-PS.odt.
Second review of a file, the reviewer adds their initials to the filename, for 
example IG7005-ManagingGraphicObjects-02-PS-DB.odt.

When the file is published, the filename does not have a sequence number or any 
initials added, for example IG7005-ManagingGraphicObjects.odt.

This does give a good indication of which file is which and prevents the wrong 
file from being edited again. It worked very well for me and a team of 
technical writers.

We will agree to disagree about folder names, but still think Feedback is the 
wrong name to use. A Published folder is a definite.

Regards
