Any clever ideas on how to mark an excel file to determine if people are using the most recent version?

We collect data from companies on Excel sheets. I want to detect within my VBA code if the spreadsheet they sent is the most recent version before I upload the data to our db.

I could hide an id somewhere on the sheet using a white font color or something like that. Wondering if anyone has other ideas. Thanks
