Man behind his laptop, puzzled face; thinking bubble with a large digital folder icon in the middle saying "final_final_reallyFinal" and many smaller folder icons saying e,g, "project_v2", "project_dft".
You can tell a lot about a project by its filenames… and final_reallyFINAL.xlsx tells us everything 😅
Instead: Use clear, consistent names with version numbers
