In the main file or menu file, I always have a "Last revised" date on
the screen, which I change every time I work in the files. (any of the
files) This is so the users are aware of changes taking place.
On the developer layout of each file I also have a revised date that
only I see.
I usually email my users a summary of the changes I make, so a log of
those emails are a good review of changes I made on what date.
During development I may backup and zip/stuff my file sets several
times, so I date them ProjectName072405.2.sit and save them for several
weeks before deletion. This is so if I discover some awful corruption, I
have a hope of finding a file set without that corruption, even if I
have to re-create all subsequent work.
