Updating documents after redesigning a form
When you redesign a form, be aware of the effect on existing documents. Some form changes, such as formatting changes, automatically display when users open an existing document. Other changes, such as adding a new field, do not display in existing documents until you update the documents manually or by running an agent. If the database replicates, redesign the form on only one database and let the changes replicate to other replicas.

Form changes that don't require updates to existing documents

As long as the form doesn't have the "Store form in documents" property set, changes in the following form elements display automatically in existing documents. When users open a document, they see the changed format.
