An audio file called “final-final” makes sense only to the person who remembers the revisions. Once downloaded into someone else’s folder, it becomes difficult to identify. Choose a delivery name that carries enough context to survive the handover.
Include stable identifiers
Use the project or episode name, a version marker, and the intended output where necessary. A made-up example is “garden-chat_ep04_v03_review.wav”. The exact pattern matters less than using the agreed pattern consistently.
Keep working exports separate from the version you are asking someone to review. If two files differ only in an unclear suffix, explain the difference in the handover message rather than expecting the recipient to audition both.
Check the file, not just the label
Open the actual delivery file and confirm that its contents match the name. A tidy label cannot prevent an older export from being sent accidentally. Verify the beginning, end, and any section changed in the latest revision.
Include a short message stating what response you need and which version supersedes the previous one. This makes the filename part of a clear delivery process rather than a substitute for communication. A recipient should be able to identify the file and understand what to do with it.
