Choose a naming pattern
Decide one naming pattern before renaming a group of files. Keep the original contents intact.
Name the purpose, item, and date
- Choose the document’s purpose, such as purchase receipt or service invoice.
- Add the nickname or model that distinguishes its connected record.
- Add the source date in a consistent YYYY-MM-DD format when known.
- Keep a version note for a corrected or replacement document.
- Search one title and verify it returns the intended entry.
Test one recognizable title
A fictional title such as Northmoor service invoice 2026-08-14 communicates the item, purpose, and date.
Do not invent a source date
An unknown date should stay unknown. A renamed file does not change its issue date, validity, or contents. Avoid putting full serials in names you may share.
