Editing File Management Procedures (section)

===Concept Files===

Regardless of the type of project, each unique concept should exist in a standalone file and be identified by a c# file name. A concept can have multiple pages when necessary, but a unique look and feel should be saved as a separate concept. This is important for two reasons. When concepts get retired, we can then clean them from the root directory and not be confused about what files are currently being worked on. 

The only exceptions to this is when a job is very small, such as a 3 to 4 options for a social post or an email, and there will be no styles being applied to each concept. It is recommended in these cases to not create any concept files and build all assets in a Presentation file, named with the p# convention. 

Concept files can reside in the root folder or the Art folder, but the root should only contain active concept files that are being worked on with older ones retired to Old Layouts.

<blockquote>It is each designer’s responsibility to organize the Creative folder and retire unused concepts to the Old Layouts folder. This should happen at the start of each new design process, so that the root only contains as many files as necessary.</blockquote>
