Naming Convention

Once a file is named and uploaded to the Sharepoint repository, its name cannot be changed.  If the name of the file is changed, the version history will be lost.  To submit a revision to a chapter, the file name must remain in-tact.  That said, it is best to adhere to a naming convention for each chapter.
