# Ingest Update

If a document has been ingested previously, and the metadata for the document has changed but the file content has not, you can use the Ingest `Update` method.

This instructs the target to update the metadata for an existing document, but to leave the content intact. The following example updates just the value of `MyField` in the document added in the example for Ingest Add:

           using(IDocInfo doc = DocInfo.Create(task.TaskConfig,
                  "http://www.example.com/testDocument.doc"))
           {
               doc.Document.AddFieldValue("MyField", "My New Value");
               task.Ingester.Update(doc);
           }

The value of the field "MyField" is replaced with "My New Value". The content of the file in the target remains unchanged, as do the values of `SecondField`.
