This document provides best practices for organizing documents in SharePoint 2010. It discusses using document sets versus folders for document organization and outlines strategies for metadata management, content types, and content organizer rules. Content types help create a common structure and taxonomy for documents while content organizer rules allow documents to be automatically sorted without user intervention. Metadata should be defined by business needs and users trained on consistent application of terms. Overall, the document presents techniques for improving document findability, searchability, and collaborative work through structured content organization in SharePoint.
