You can unsubscribe at any time.How to use document numbering in a version control table Consider “Approved” and “Draft”. My preference for revisions to a baselined document is to the use the current version i.e. When I am ready to share/issue the document, I remove the “WIP” suffix (and also add details of the version to the version history section within the document). To do this well requires a change/release/document control log (whatever we want to call it).This is a great thread and very timely as I’m about to write a short document around file and folder taxonomy for a PMO team. In your situation, it sounds like you have a very specific need to have one new version number per week, so I guess you need to extend the method.In terms of abbreviations, I try to avoid them because they assume everyone knows what they mean. “Issue 2 Draft 3” and the more traditional “Version 2.3”. For example, an initial set of files is "revision 1". The other mark-up dilemma I often face is exactly what to mark up. A combination of a number plus a “document state” tells the story. One of the reasons for using letters instead of numbers is to combat the problem you describe – it reduces the potential for confusion between e.g. Why use a numerical code which requires some special knowledge to understand? Each revision is associated with a timestamp and the person making the change. You could configure how many versions it kept.

We already know that v1.0 is the one and only ‘final’ version of the sub-v1 drafts etc.Thanks for your perspective Alf. And for any document that I am working on, I create an “archive” folder, and continue to save the older versions in this folder. This makes your main folder clutter free and allows you to focus on the ‘document at hand’. There seems little point in calling something a draft if it’s never actually going to be approved (or baselined).When I’m working on a version controlled document, I always add a suffix “WIP” onto the file name to show that it is Work In Progress. including versioning, changes etc.As far as I am aware, ISO 9001 doesn’t mandate any particular version numbering scheme, it just mandates that you should have one.
