  <Accordion title="How does a Powersheet document find its configuration file?">
    Each Powersheet document has a custom field (`nextedySheetConfig`) that references a sheet configuration YAML file. Powersheet scans both the global and project-specific configuration directories for available YAML files and populates a picklist from which you select the desired configuration. If no configuration is selected, the document uses a bundled default configuration (`powersheet.yaml`).

    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I share a configuration across multiple documents?">
    Yes. Sheet configurations are stored as standalone YAML files in the repository, independent of any specific document. Multiple Powersheet documents can reference the same configuration file through their `nextedySheetConfig` custom field. This is the recommended approach for maintaining consistency across related documents in a project.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I update the configuration for an existing document?">
    You can change a document's sheet configuration by updating the `nextedySheetConfig` custom field on the document, either through the Polarion work item editor or programmatically. You can also edit the configuration YAML directly through **Administration > Nextedy POWERSHEET > Sheet Configurations**, which will affect all documents referencing that configuration.

    See [Creating Your First Sheet Configuration](/powersheet/getting-started/first-sheet-configuration) for a guided walkthrough.
