File Library Plan
ChemVault Docs can act as the public index for future downloadable resources.
This page defines the filing rules before the downloads area becomes large.
File categories
Section titled “File categories”Planned file categories:
- lecture summaries
- reagent sheets
- reaction mechanism templates
- lab report templates
- project screenshots and diagrams
- release notes
- archived course resources
Naming convention
Section titled “Naming convention”Use names that remain understandable outside the website.
Recommended pattern:
chemvault-<workspace>-<topic>-<version-or-date>.<extension>Examples:
chemvault-reagents-nabh4-passport-v1.pdfchemvault-chem10712-exam-patterns-2026-06.pdfchemvault-lab-tlc-monitoring-template-v1.docxMetadata checklist
Section titled “Metadata checklist”Every downloadable file should have:
- title
- short description
- owner or maintainer
- source page
- version or date
- file type
- intended audience
- update status
Release states
Section titled “Release states”| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Internal or incomplete file |
| Review | Ready for content check |
| Public | Safe to link from docs |
| Archived | Kept for reference, not current |
Link policy
Section titled “Link policy”Each file should be linked from a context page, not only from a file list.
For example, a TLC template should be linked from the TLC guide, and a reagent sheet should be linked from the matching reagent passport.
Related pages
Section titled “Related pages”Quick summary
Section titled “Quick summary”The file library should stay structured before it grows.
Every download needs a route, metadata, owner, status and source context.
