## Best Practices

- Use **clear file names** that indicate the content and date.
- Archive **Taskstream data** here if it’s not already present.
- Store **supporting documentation** for assessment or accreditation purposes.
- Upload **final versions** of reports and evidence to avoid confusion.
- Check **file size and format** requirements (e.g., PDF, Word, Excel).
- Link documents back to your workspace in **Outcomes, Methods, and Findings** when needed.
