# Displaying and Modifying Document Properties

You can check the properties of a document such as its size and the modified date and time by displaying the properties window of InfoView, or the [Document Properties] dialog box. You can also modify the properties in the [Document Properties] dialog box. DocuWorks binders and DocuWorks containers are manipulated in the same manner.
It is possible to display the properties for a non-DocuWorks file or folder. However, you cannot modify the properties for such file or folder.
This topic describes the following:

- Displaying document properties
- Adding, modifying, or deleting document properties
