# How to Manage Template Settings

### Template properties

{% columns %}
{% column %}

  {% endcolumn %}

  {% endcolumn %}

The template version updates when you change the document content or flow settings. A new version is created only after the first envelope is created from the updated template.

### Template path

{% column %}
Template path defines where the template is stored across your mailboxes.
{% endcolumn %}

### Envelope properties

{% columns %}
{% column width="58.333333333333336%" %}
Envelope properties define defaults for envelopes created from the template:

If set on the template, these values can’t be changed on the envelope later.

{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Open the advanced subject settings from the properties button ![](/files/hms2qzRc68baEmJM7nkj) in the **Subject** field. You can build a dynamic subject using values from dynamic fields.
{% endhint %}

### Recepient experience

{% columns %}
{% column %}
**Delegation is denied** — prevents recipients from delegating their assigned action to another user.

**Do not send files by email** — prevents DocStudio from sending envelope files by email.

**Restrict envelope archive downloading until envelope completion** — prevents users from downloading the envelope archive before the envelope is completed.

**Show metadata** — displays envelope metadata to recipients if metadata exists for the envelope.

Set expiration — set the envelope validity period.

* Non-expiring envelope: The envelope has no deadline and remains active until signed.
* **Sender will set expiration:** The sender manually sets the expiration date.
* **Set expiration:** The template creator sets the expiration period.
