Hello ​@SJW,

Thanks for reaching out to the Docusign Community -- great to have you here!

When templates are updated, those changes do not affect any envelopes that are already in progress. In-progress envelopes remain tied to the version of the template they were originally created from and cannot be updated to the newer template version. Each envelope is a separate, independent copy of the template at the time it was created.

I hope this helps clarify things! If you found this response helpful, feel free to give it a like or mark it as the best answer. Let us know if you have any further questions

Best Regards,
