For example, meeting notes taken weekly or monthly can all exist in a single document, making it easy to review past notes and top issues. It’s much easier to keep track of a single document then to hunt for emails or search for one of many files.

Daily or weekly journal entries can also be saved in a single document, making it easy for others to review the latest work but still have the option of viewing previous entries. If the document is being assessed on a regular basis, a single document archive simplifies the process. Teachers can always open the same document to go in and review the latest contents.
