What method do you use to document your coins?

Individually, as a group (eg. Lincoln cents),
or as full sets (eg. 2019 Silver mint proof set, 2020 Silver mint proof set, etc...)

#1 - List all your coins -- separately.
I use a spread sheet.
Keep a digital copy on your computer AND a digital copy on a stick.

#2 - Update your digital copies EVERY time you get a new coin.

#3 - Print a hard copy about once a month.

#4 - Take pictures of all your significant coins; you decide what you consider "significant".

Not exactly the answer to my question.

Here is a short list of software programs I'm looking at to use:

Collector's Assistant by Carlisle Development
Exact Change by Wild Man Software
Coin Elite by Trove Software

BUT!
Lets say you have a 20XX-s Silver Mint Proof set of say 14 coins of various denominations for said year in a OGP lens case.

Do you list the set as a single unit or do you break out the individual coins to list separately (Without necessarily opening the cases - thereby keeping the mint set intact in the lens cases)

like this 2018 reverse proof silver set as an example.
