How to make a simple folder structure for a projectDigital basics

Separate source material, working files and final outputs. This worked guide uses a small reproducible example so you can check the result before adapting it to your own task.

始める前に

  • A new project folder
  • A small set of copied project files

ステップごとの手順

1

Name the main folder clearly

Use a project name that distinguishes it from similar work. Add a date only if that helps identify the project.

2

Create three useful subfolders

Start with inputs, working and final. Add more folders only when the actual material requires them.

3

Keep source files in inputs

Place original references or source material in inputs and work on copies where appropriate. Avoid editing the only original during an experiment.

4

Use working for revisions

Keep drafts and in-progress outputs in working with understandable version names. Move an output to final only after checking it.

5

Test retrieval

Close the folder and find one source file and one finished output from their names alone. Rename unclear folders before the project grows.

ヒントとトラブル対処

  • A shallow structure is easier to use than many empty subfolders.
  • Keep one authoritative final location.
