Encourage the client to be organized
Set the ground rules. What format, where to be stored, how to name the media.

Place content inside the visual board
Place the raw content from the client inside FigJam, so that it can be evaluated and used to help develop other areas of the visual plan.

For larger projects, place content on shared drives like Google Docs with samples in the visual board.
