How do you explain a design decision from 8 months ago when the reasoning is scattered across Slack, Figma, and Miro?

Hey there! Happy Friday.

I jumped back into a project this week that I worked on eight months ago. A PM asked why we went with a particular flow over the more obvious route. I knew there was a reason, I think it came out of user research, but between Slack threads, Figma comments, and a Miro board that's turned into a graveyard of sticky notes, I couldn't piece it together.

Wondering how other designers handle this. Do you have a system that actually works? Or do you document stuff knowing you'll never look at it again?

(Specifically curious whether anyone's found a way to keep Figma and Miro boards usable long-term, ours become completely unnavigable once a few people have added to them over a few months.)
