Use the Datasheet Information window to assign tags to each specific datasheet and edit information about the datasheet including its Datasheet Number (Document Number) and the revision information that appears in the datasheet title block.
You can also use this window to edit tag data (double-clicking on any assigned tag number in the Tags tab, or clicking Open displays the Instrument Edit window).
To open the Datasheet Information window, with the Datasheets List open, click Edit in the Records section of the Home tab.

The window is basically the same as the second "page" of the Add a New Datasheet and Add Datasheet for: windows (refer to Add New Datasheets) except as follows:
Last Edit Field
The Last Edit field displays the date and time when the datasheet data was last edited.The user name of the individual that performed the edit is displayed in a tool-tip when the mouse cursor is hovered over the field. Click the button in the field to display the Audit Manager, which will display a list of all the changes to the datasheet data.
Save Changes
Changes made using this window are not saved until the Save button is clicked.
Note: AVEVA Instrumentation does not update the external Excel workbook file with any changes until either the datasheet is opened using the Open command or updated using the Update command on the List Tools tab of the Datasheet List.
