Dossier

A dossier is similar to a regular computer folder, with a few key differences. Just like a folder, you can always find a dossier's contents—say, an image and some copy in an article—within that dossier. At the same time, though, a designer can find that image in his or her inbox for color correction and an editor will find the article ready for editing in his or her inbox.

The system is basically passing around links to the content, so it can appear to be in multiple places at once. Whenever you need it, though, and regardless of who is working on it, you will always find the most current version of any file in the dossier.
