5.SayPro Grant and Manage Access Permissions

• Objective: Ensure the right people can view or edit files, while sensitive data stays secure.
• Action:

• Objective: Prevent outdated versions from being used.
• Action:
  • Mark superseded files clearly with _ARCHIVE_ or move them to an Archive subfolder.

8.SayPro Ensure Long-Term Accessibility

• Objective: Make sure documentation remains useful beyond the immediate project.
• Action:
  • Include explanatory notes in documents.
