How do you make remote collaboration less chaotic?

We have team members in different time zones, and files often get updated overnight. How can we avoid confusion in the morning?

I’ve faced this while working with a US–Europe team. I’d wake up to find files updated, renamed, or moved, and I wasn’t sure which version to use. I implemented a shared platform that kept a clear activity log of all changes. I also found on https://www.iweee.org/ that labeling folders by project and date makes it easier to track progress. Now I can quickly review changes each morning and start working without delays or guesswork.
