Question Title

* 3. Which of the following did you learn about during the workshop?

Your research files will change over time; you need to ensure you will know what each file is and that you establish a clear historical record of your research creation process. Instead of saving over a file, save versions of the file as you make changes to it.

An easy way to do this is to establish a standard way of naming and/or storing your files that makes it easy to tell what each is (e.g., with version numbers or dates at the end of a filename).

You may also rely on software tools that are made to “version” your content, e.g. “Subversion”; these are especially useful when multiple authors/researchers have access to the same file and/or may make changes to a file over time.

All of the above

None of the above
