==Effects on Your Documents==
In BaseX, all updates are performed on database nodes. Update operations thus never affect the original input file. You can, however, use the [[Commands#EXPORT|EXPORT]] command or the fn:put() function to create an updated XML file. Activating the WRITEBACK property ([[Commands#SET|SET Command]]command) directly propagates changes of your database to the original input file. Make sure you back up your data in advance, as this approach modifies the underlying XML file.
