When versions are unclear, a specific confirmation request prevents work on the wrong file.

The idea

Mention the two versions and their dates, ask which one to use and say you will wait before editing.

Examples

  • He recibido dos versiones del archivo.I have received two versions of the file.
  • No sé cuál es la más reciente.I do not know which one is the most recent.
  • ¿Podrías confirmar cuál debo usar?Could you confirm which one I should use?
  • Una versión tiene fecha de lunes.One version is dated Monday.
  • La otra tiene fecha de miércoles.The other is dated Wednesday.
  • Esperaré tu confirmación antes de editarlo.I will wait for your confirmation before editing it.

Watch out

A date in a name or message does not by itself prove which file is approved; ask rather than assume.

Try it yourself

  1. State the number of versions received. He recibido ___ versiones. (dos / diez)

    Show answer or example answer

    dos

    Dos indicates how many versions were received.

  2. Name the day on the second version. La otra tiene fecha de ___. (miércoles / lunes)

    Show answer or example answer

    miércoles

    Miércoles identifies the date on the second version.

  3. Ask which version should be used. ¿Cuál debo ___? (usar / vender)

    Show answer or example answer

    usar

    Usar asks which version should be used.

Use it today

Tell a colleague about Monday and Wednesday versions and request confirmation before making changes.
