I cannot tell which Microsoft 365 file is the latest anymore

I started the day thinking I only needed to tidy the agenda before a client meeting. The first small win was that the file was not lost: I found one copy in the Teams channel, another as an Outlook attachment, and a OneDrive link someone had dropped into a meeting chat.

For a minute that felt reassuring. Then the pain kicked in. The timestamps did not line up, my synced folder had yesterday's version, and nobody was completely sure which copy the client had seen.

I spent the morning comparing changes instead of improving the document. I did manage to rescue two edits and stop a colleague from presenting the wrong version, so that felt like progress, but after lunch I was still answering messages like, 'Is this the final one?' and 'Can you resend the latest?'

By the time the meeting started, the document was usable, but I did not trust the process that got us there. My dream is simple: every project has one file home, everyone shares links instead of stray copies, and I can open the current file without doing detective work first.
