Organizing Archives

Organizing Archives

Although the way you organize your archives is a matter of personal preference, the following guidelines may be helpful:

After you have processed a clip, remove any material that you are no longer using before you create your archive.
Try to keep your libraries clean at all times. Remove clips that are no longer being used or earlier unused versions of your work.
Use a consistent and clear naming technique so that you can easily find your material when you want to create or open an archive.
Consolidate and compact clips before archiving in order to save space. See Consolidating Clips and Compacting Clips.
