Do you 'zz' old files rather than deleting them? Learn how to preserve your outdated .NET application releases and Microsoft Word proposals by prefixing filenames with 'zz'.

The YouTube part of this rule is really useful when someone opens an old version via using an outdated link e.g on a website or sent to someone.

When the zzRule is applied, viewers see the old video (no broken link), and they observe that they are seeing an outdated version (via “zz” in the title), and are able to navigate to the current version (via the new link in description).

It's very useful to link new video URL on the old video.

Good rule very useful!

Tip: append the date too (e.g. zz-2026-04-30-filename) so you know when to clean up
