== Keeping content updated ==

Even after ~~you have fully mapped the respective~~ systems in ~~your~~ area of interest and added ~~that information~~ into Pathfinder, it is important to keep it continuously updated.

Even after systems in an area of interest have been mapped and their information added into Pathfinder, it is important to keep it continuously updated.

=== Signature updates ===

System signatures should be updated every time a system is entered and frequently when undocked.

~~As you travel through systems on the map, establish the habit of updating signatures as you warp through the system,~~ even if ~~you~~ have not scanned ~~them~~ down ~~yet~~. ~~The panels within Pathfinder differentiate when~~ a ~~given~~ signature ~~was first created and when it was~~ last updated. ~~When bulk importing~~ signatures ~~using the "~~Lazy ~~'delete'~~ signatures~~" method, your updates~~ will ~~automatically remove signatures no longer present~~ in ~~the system. Adding unknown signatures, particularly~~ when ~~you may not have time~~ to ~~scan them~~ down, will prompt others to investigate. More importantly, if Pathfinder has specific information about a particular signature but it's unidentified in your local list, pasting updated signatures into Pathfinder will retain the specific information and will not overwrite it with unknown values.

Signatures should be updated even if they have not been scanned down. Bulk imports from the in-game scan window allow for quick updates to all of a systems signatures. Existing signatures will keep all signature information with only the 'last updated' column refreshed. Expired signatures can be removed automatically if Lazy Delete is selected. New unscanned signatures will appear as unknown in Pathfinder when bulk imported allowing for quick identification of what needs to be scanned down.
