You know the problem: You are working with a colleague on a PowerPoint/Keynote presentation and have a file hosting service like Dropbox/GoogleDrive/Box for synchronising your work. Revision control with Git or SVN is not an option. So, how do you collaborate efficiently? Try the following naming scheme:
[project name][timestamp in yyyymmdd][a-z]_[initals].pptx
An example would look like:
- "findings20170105a_pm.pptx" :: yesterday's (20170105) 1st draft (a) from Paula Myo (pm)
[project name][timestamp in yyyymmdd][a-z]_[initals].pptx
An example would look like:
- "findings20170105a_pm.pptx" :: yesterday's (20170105) 1st draft (a) from Paula Myo (pm)
- "findings20170105b_dl.pptx" :: yesterday's (20170105) 2nd draft (b) from Dimitri Leopoldovich (dl)
- "findings20170105c_dl.pptx" :: yesterday's (20170105) 3rd draft (c) from Dimitri Leopoldovich (dl)
- "findings20170106a_pm.pptx" :: today's (20170106) 1st draft (a) from Paula Myo (pm)
