Does anyone have any tips for keeping your work logical when you are troubleshooting a model? When I am doing this, I'll change something here, change something there, try this, try that. I've tried making lists of what I changed, saving a new version of the model if I make a really big/complicated change (sometimes ending up with many models with cryptic names), etc. While these are better than doing nothing, they are still not ideal. Any ideas?
