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 clips before archiving in order to save space. See Consolidating Clips in the Clip Library.
