Think of a folder as the home for one small project. It might contain a letter, a list and a few images. Start with harmless examples, and decide how you want to find the work later.
Name the project first
Create a folder with a meaningful name such as Learning practice. Put only related examples inside it. A structure you understand is more useful than an elaborate system you will not remember next week.
Use versions deliberately
Before making substantial changes, create a clearly named copy. Compare the two versions after editing. Do not assume that an application’s recent-files list tells you where a document is stored; locate it in the folder as well.
Test a backup
Keep important work in a suitable backup location and protect access to it. A backup should help you recover a file, not simply create another confusing name. Test the process with a practice document so you understand how recovery works.
Try this yourself
Create a project folder containing a note and a copy with one deliberate revision.
Check your understanding
Can you locate both versions and explain which one you would share?
