Preserving files

Understand how to look after your workspace's files and avoid losing work in NoteCore.

When to use this

• Use it before starting long analysis.
• Use it when organizing important notebooks.
• Use it when you need to share or archive results according to your organization's policy.

Before you start

• Know where your workspace saves files.
• Understand which results may contain sensitive data.
• Know your organization's retention and versioning policy, where one exists.

Step by step

1. Create folders per project or domain.
2. Name notebooks clearly.
3. Save your work as the analysis goes.
4. Remove unnecessary temporary files.
5. Store sensitive evidence and results only in approved locations.
6. When a project ends, review what should be kept.

What happens next

• The workspace becomes easier to understand and review.
• Important files run less risk of accidental loss.
• Sensitive results stay under the organization's control.

Common errors

• Saving files with unclear names.
• Keeping local copies of sensitive data without need.
• Mixing drafts with final analysis.

Good practice

• Document the purpose at the start of each notebook.
• Use folders per project.
• Clean up temporary files when the work is done.
