Signals Notebook: How to update a material table when changes are made to materials

When we update our materials and some of these materials are referenced within a materials table, we may see a notification that the information in our material has changed and that we must update our table in order to see the current information for our material. 

Below, you will find different methods for updating your table.

Update materials one by one:

If you want to update the materials one by one, you can click on the hamburger menu located to the left of the material with outdated information and then click on “update”.

Update all materials in three steps:

There is a three-step method that is especially useful when you have multiple materials in your materials table that need to be updated. Below you will find these steps in detail.

1. Download your table in CSV format.
   

2. Clear all table data.

   

3. Import the CSV downloaded in step 1.

   

This action will populate the material IDs present in your original table and lead to a general update of your data, updating all rows with the current material information.
