# Updating Content References in Dynamic Documents

The Update command can be used, for example, after the Diff/Merge process and before generating document previews to ensure all content references are up to date. The command to update all dynamic REQ content references within a repository is as follows:

    ReqAdmin update [-v] <Repository Path>

Note: The command will update content references from the content in the file system repository that is being built; this differs from behavior in the Requirements Editor where content reference updates are performed through the authoring web service and database.

A typical workflow might involve performing an update to content references using this command (update) prior to building a content repository (using the build command). In this workflow, you may elect to use the -skipupdate switch in the build command to bypass the update process that is default behavior as part of the build repository. See exp_AdminBuildingRepository.html for details.
