When to use Google Drive vs the Wiki

The wiki is for things like how to do your position, or editing/writing the timeline for your position (as it applies to each year, not necessarily specific years).

The drive is for files, like posters or flyers, whether yearly specific or general.


Examples

Extra steps you learn (from con, or anywhere) that are worth noting for the position - Put in the wiki. A new year specific poster (or a poster to be used yearly) - Put in the google drive.

Good Uses of the google drive

Past Years folder

Inside the “Past Years” folder, if a year folder doesn’t exist for that year’s convention, please create one (Like 2022 or 2023). Move all year-specific files into that folder after the convention ends.

Templates

If there is a file that should be used year to year, such as a budget excel with formulas (if you’re lazy like me and want the computer to do the math), then make a template of it so it can be copied each year. This applies to anything that can be used year to year, to help keep things organized and also the keep the continuity. Also feel free to update templates when necessary.

Forms

Did you know that a form can be configured to send responses to a specific tab inside a google sheets document? This allows you to keep the same form year after year, and the same response spreadsheet, while filtering your responses. <Instructions will go here>
