# How to Manage Template Settings
This document explains the available template settings and how they affect envelope behavior.
### Template properties

{% column %}

{% columns %}

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.

### Envelope properties
{% columns %}

**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.

* **Set expiration:** The template creator sets the expiration period.
