Establish good foundations Keep file names short but meaningful. Include any unique identifiers, e.g. case number, project title. Be consistent. Indicate version number where appropriate. Ensure the purpose of the document is quickly and easily identifiable.

File naming best practices: Files should be named consistently. File names should be short but descriptive (<25 characters) (Briney, 2015) Avoid special characters or spaces in a file name. Use capitals and underscores instead of periods or spaces or slashes. Use date format ISO 8601: YYYYMMDD.

Some applications and computer scripts may not recognize spaces or will process your files differently when using spaces. A best practice is to replace spaces in file names with an underline () or hyphen (-).

A document file name is the name you give the electronic file copy of a document. The document file name does not need to be the same as the actual document. In fact, you can use the shortest version of the name that's possible.

Include a version number at the end of the file name such as v01. Change this version number each time the file is saved. For the final version, substitute the word FINAL for the version number. This is especially important if files are being shared.

File naming conventions: Start file name with A thru Z, a thru z, or 0 thru 9 - do not use brackets or commas; cannot start a file name with an underscore or hyphen. Last 4 characters of the file name must be lowercase .pdf,
