How to rename scanned files
PURPOSE
Clear file names make scanned documents easier to identify and search later.
GOOD FILE NAMES
Include the document type, subject, date, and version if useful.
EXAMPLE
Use 2026-05-15-invoice-12345.pdf instead of scan0007.pdf.
AVOID
Avoid vague names, special characters that may break systems, and names that expose sensitive information unnecessarily.
BEST PRACTICE
Rename files before uploading or sharing them.
