What is inside

A practical structure for real PCB handoff work.

Project root folders

Admin, design, datasheets, BOM, firmware, manufacturing releases, test notes, images, and archive.

BOM CSV template

Starter columns for designator, quantity, value, footprint, MPN, supplier, alternates, and notes.

Release notes

Document board specs, included files, change reason, known risks, and manufacturer notes.

Assembly notes

Capture DNP parts, polarity notes, hand-soldering instructions, and inspection points.

Bring-up checklist

Check visual inspection, rails, current-limited first power, firmware load, and functional tests.

Software path

Use the template manually now, then move to PCB Vault Software when folders become hard to manage.

Next step

When this template starts feeling too manual, use PCB Vault Software.
