Best Practices

  1. For any shared webform or workflow, create a template.
  2. Always create any template, web form, or workflow within a group or shared with a group.
  3. When versioning templates (ie, replacing a document), include the current date as a unique identifier. The recommendation is the following format:
    1. Document Name (vYYYYMMDD) - so for example, Affirmative Action Thing (v20221017).
    2. If multiple revisions are made of the same template on the same day, use non-numeric characters to further differentiate: Affirmative Action Thing (v20221017a), Affirmative Action Thing (v20221017b), etc.
  4. When versioning web forms, you can keep the name identical as the previous revision, since signers see the web form name, but be sure to Hide the previous revision of the form once you publish the new one.
