# Expected Document Lists



Expected Document Lists (EDLs) help you to measure the completeness of projects. Learn about [EDLs in Vault Help](https://platform.veevavault.help/en/lr/32749). Note that if your Vault is configured to set milestone values by EDL item, the following EDL endpoints may trigger updates to a document’s milestone fields.
