In Word, you can be notified about changes that have been made to content such as content blocks and elements or profile and company data in use.

In Outlook, you receive a notification on your screen if there have been changes to the profile or company data contained in your signature (Figure 1495, “Update Notification in Outlook”).

After the data has been loaded successfully, the screen disappears.

In Excel, there are no update notifications.

Updates in Word

In Word, you are notified about changes that have been made to your profile or company data.
In addition, you are notified if there have been changes to content blocks or pictures you are using in a document.

Updates of Profile and Company Data

If there have been changes to your profiles or to the company data, you will be notified by empower^®.

If you open a Document Template and your profile or company data that you have set as a default has been deleted, a dialog box opens.

empower^® prompts you to select another profile and/or location for the current document template.

If you want to set new default values, click on the button Manage defaults.

Important

You are only notified if your default profile or company data is missing because it has been removed.

If there have been changes to the data for a profile or a company or if your default has been changed, there is no notification. The changes are synchronized in the background.

If you have already filled in the template and your profile data changes in the meantime, a dialog box opens (Figure 1496, “Changed Profile Data”).

In this dialog box, you can decide if you want to apply the changes.

Updates of Content Blocks And Pictures

If you open a Document Template which contains content blocks or pictures that have been updated in the meantime, a dialog box opens.
In this dialog box, you can decide if you want to update the content blocks and pictures in your Document Template or not (Figure 1497, “Update Notification for Elements”). To update all content blocks and pictures in the document, click on the button Yes.	Figure 1497. Update Notification for Elements
If you have opened a Document Template or a document that has been created with empower^®, you can also check manually if there are outdated elements.
To do so, click on the lower part of the split button Library and then choose the option Update elements (Figure 1498, “Option Update elements”).	Figure 1498. Option Update elements
If there are outdated elements, the same dialog box opens. To update all elements in the document, click on the button Yes.

Note

You can only decide to accept all updates that are available for your document at once. It is not possible to select individual updates to be applied.
