## Dynamic Document Instance Properties

While inside a dynamic document, you can add the InstanceProperties under the Instance Element. Here you can add the different child elements listed above. After the element is added you have the ability to modify the boolean or text values.
Note: Existing attributes that are not converted will remain supported for the foreseeable future.

## Converting Instance Properties

To allow for conditional values for attributes of existing Instance Properties, you can convert them to elements. This allows you to provide conditions for any of the properties.

To convert existing attributes to elements, select Convert Attributes to Elements from the Instance Properties context menu.
Using this command causes all existing attributes to be converted to elements. Conditions can be applied to each element as desired.
Note:

- The Convert Attributes to Elements command appears only if there are no child elements under the InstanceProperties element and has existing attributes to convert.
- After the existing attributes are converted, they are removed from the document.

## Static Document Instance Properties

Static documents have a tab called 'Instance Properties', in this tab you have access to all available attributes.
There are attributes that have values already assigned to them. These are the default values for the specific attributes. Inside the Property Value column are options to either change the boolean values or add text to the boxes.
Note: Override functionality exists for elements that are read-only, identified with a gray background. When attempting to change the value of one of these elements displays the following prompt:

    Modifying this will create a precedence override on InstanceProperties Element.
