# Editing a document

After creating the document, you can still edit some of its settings. The mutation for updating the document is shown below:

```graphql
mutation (
  $id: UUID!,
  $document: UpdateDocumentInput! 
) {
  updateDocument(id: $id, document: $document) {
    id
    name
    message
    reminder
    refusable
    sortable
    stop_on_rejected
    new_signature_style
    show_audit_page
    expiration_at
    deadline_at
    email_template_id
    footer
    cc
    configs {
      notification_finished
      notification_signed
      signature_appearance
    }
    created_at
   }
}
```

**Parameters:**

* `id`: A `String` (UUID!) that represents the unique identifier of the document you want to edit.
* `document`: An object (`UpdateDocumentInput!`) that contains the details of the properties you want to update in the document.

Next, you’ll need to assign values to the variables declared in the mutation using a JSON structure.\
Example of variable values for the *mutation*:

```json
{
  "id": "DOCUMENT_ID",
  "document": {
      "name": "DOCUMENT_NAME",
      "message": "Custom message sent to the signer's email",
      "reminder": "WEEKLY",
      "sortable": true, 
      "footer": "BOTTOM", 
      "refusable": true,
      "new_signature_style": true, 
      "show_audit_page": false, 
      "ignore_cpf": true, 
      "email_template_id": 1234, 
      "deadline_at": "2023-11-24T02:59:59.999Z",
      "cc": [
        { "email": "email-cc-1@example.com" },
        { "email": "email-cc-2@example.com" }
      ],
      "expiration": {
        "days_before": 7,
        "notify_at": "20/01/2026"
    }
  }
}
```
