Digital organisation tips

  • Save all files in Teams channel folders for easy collaboration.

  • Always ‘share’ files. Avoid copying and saving personal versions of documents. Use the ‘share' button or copy the file 'link’ and paste it into chats, channels or emails. Any files for personal use can be saved in OneDrive.

  • Standardize your document types.

  • Merge documents strategically and delete old versions (declutter).

  • Name digital files clearly. Identify current files with ease by saving files with the year, month or day at the end of the file name. Regularly deleting unwanted files and old versions of files are good habits to keep digital filing easy to navigate.
