ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method and system for providing up-to-date relevant information for an electronic document template, and documents created using a template. Each template is given a unique identifier when it is created. When a document is created using the template, the same template identifier is associated with the document. Various pieces of information written or assimilated by or for the author or authors of the template that help to explain how to use the template are associated with the template identifiers and stored in a remote data source. When a template or a document created using a template is opened that contains an identifier, a message is sent to the data store that results in the relevant information being retrieved. Retrieved relevant information is displayed in a pane adjacent to the template or the document created using the template.
