The only downside is that you run into trouble after 26 drafts! Oh, hang, on, I have a few extra thoughts. If I think I am likely to share a document with others (i.e. it’s not just purely for personal use), I will version control it as a matter of course. That doesn’t mean I use a formal template for every document. Don’t Use Drafts Unless the Document Will Be Approved Sometimes it’s as simple as adding the version number to the file name, rather than inserting an explicit document control section within the document, and it takes seconds to do. If I am creating a document that I know I will share with others, but it’s not a document that will be going through any formal approval process, I tend to give it a simple numerical version number (v1, v2, v3 etc.). There seems little point in calling something a draft if it’s never actually going to be approved (or baselined).
