Then I have my faxes set up as green. For example, I receive an e-mail from my direct supervisor.

" One of the most productive ways to update information on files is to either create or move a file into a shared folder on your companys network drive.

It even happened to me a few times, where people would create files themselves, then send it around to others to review and make changes, but never save it on the network drive.
