How to hand off files to another employee

A proper handoff helps the next person continue work without confusion.
INCLUDE
Current versions, related documents, passwords or access guidance if approved, notes, deadlines, contacts, and known issues.
ORGANIZE FIRST
Remove duplicates and clearly label important files.
ACCESS
Confirm the new owner has the permissions needed.
