Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Builder tools in the left sidebar.
- Select Sync, then Services.
- In the Name column, select the Service that holds the Document.
- Select the Documents tab.
- In the Unique name / SID column, select the Document you want to inspect. You can also open the row's actions menu and choose View details.
- Under Properties, review the Document's SID, Unique name (if it has one), Revision, Created by, Date created, Date updated, and Date expires.
- Under Data, read the stored JSON payload. Select Copy to copy the whole payload to your clipboard.
Additional Information
- The Data panel is read-only. To change the payload, select Edit data.
- Date expires shows Never when the Document has no expiry set.
- Revision changes every time the Document's data is updated. It is what Sync uses to reject conflicting concurrent edits.
- A Document with no payload shows "This Document has no data." instead of a JSON block.
