Working With Documents

Documentation refers to any record that can be reviewed or retrieved at a future date. This includes records that are created on physical or paper format as well as ones that are created in a digital format with computer applications like word processors, spreadsheet programs, and image editing software. In the majority of organizations, documentation follows an established set of guidelines and conventions to ensure that each new document has a certain degree of similarity in form and structure to documents from the past. This ensures consistency and security in the organization’s workflows as well as the documentation ecosystem.

Unlike traditional physical or paper records, documents in digital formats are generally assigned a unique file name to differentiate them from other records. This helps to organize files and provides a way to search for information without having to open multiple documents in order Continued to find it. Documentation is often organized into folders which allows users to access specific documents within a larger array of data items.

Apple applications like Pages and TextEdit along with third-party applications available on the Mac App Store allow you to create many different types of documents. This includes letters, reports, essays, financial charts, presentations, slideshows and more. These documents can be used across various platforms, allowing the collaboration of team members.
