Define the official copy
Teams need to know which repository and revision is authoritative.
Use metadata consistently
Asset, location, document type, revision and date improve retrieval.

Old documents can be important for understanding what changed, but should not be mistaken for current instructions.
Plan migration
File formats, repositories and permissions need periodic review over a multi-decade asset life.
Scope. This page explains asset-management concepts, not operating procedures for critical infrastructure. Inspection methods, intervention thresholds and safety decisions must follow the asset owner’s standards, local rules and qualified professional judgement.
