Edit Answers for Built-In Personal Information Variables

Personal Information variables gather basic information, such as your name, company, and phone number. This information is stored in the Current User section of the system registry so it can be used in assembled documents without you having to re-enter it.

When you assemble a document using a template that has Personal Information variables, HotDocs asks for any personal information required by the template that you haven’t already entered. If you want to specify this information before document assembly, however, or if you want to change existing answers, you can do this at the HotDocs Options dialog box.

Because built-in variables are shared between all users of your workstation, you cannot delete the variable. You can, however, remove any personal information that has been entered for it.
