# Automatic update of iProperties ## Workflow overview On tabs File, Physical, Drawing, and Sheet metal, select the desired iProperties that should be automatically updated in a document.

{% hint style="warning" %} If an iProperty is missing in a *Custom iProperty* section of the document, it is necessary to check the option *Create property if needed (or just update existing)* in the bottom left corner of the settings window). {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} Only document-relevant iProperties will be created/updated in the document. It means that e.g. sheet metal properties will not be created/updated in the assembly file. {% endhint %} The iProperties will be automatically created after saving the document. ### Workflow example Given the specific settings for the assembly file depicted in the images above, four iProperties were automatically added to the document: *Filename*, *LastSaveDate*, *LastSavedBy*, and *Mass*.
