File Naming

[Project]-[Page/Feature]-[Version]
Example: Dashboard-Analytics-v2.1

v1.0 = First complete version
v1.1 = Minor iteration
v2.0 = Major redesign

Change Documentation

Every significant version change gets a note:

## v2.1 (2026-04-10)
- Updated chart colors for accessibility
- Added empty state for new users
- Simplified filter panel (removed 3 rarely-used filters)

## v2.0 (2026-03-28)
- Complete redesign of analytics dashboard
- New card-based layout replacing table view
- Added date range picker

Branching Strategy

  • Main: Current approved design
  • Exploration branches: Named explorations (exploration/new-nav)
  • Feature branches: Specific features in progress
  • Merge back to main after approval
  • Archive old explorations (don't delete)

Collaboration Rules

  1. One designer per page/flow at a time
  2. Communicate when editing shared components
  3. Pull latest before starting work
  4. Review component changes with the team
  5. Don't modify the design system without consensus
