✳️ Document management can be complex and confusing, particularly when some files are in the cloud. I'll review why that is and suggest how to manage it.
✳️ Working on your PC and the cloud
Make sure your cloud app is running and synchronizing properly; then work on your documents locally and let the cloud service sync changes online. Keep one master file, avoiding multiple active versions. Archive final versions in a dedicated archive folder either in your cloud service folders or a local folder. Regularly back up your files to ensure data safety.
