# ZGW

The ZGW tab connects a case to Dutch government ZGW (Zaakgericht Werken) services — linking the case to a zaaktype, synchronizing case and zaak data, and configuring how case documents are listed, uploaded, and tagged.

This includes:

* [**General**](/configuration-guides/cases/zgw/general.md) — Link the case to a zaaktype, configure zaak and case detail synchronization, and check the detected Documenten API version
* [**Document columns**](/configuration-guides/cases/zgw/document-columns.md) — Which columns appear in the case's document list, and their default sort order
* [**Document upload fields**](/configuration-guides/cases/zgw/document-upload-fields.md) — Default values and visibility of the fields shown when uploading a document
* [**Document tags**](/configuration-guides/cases/zgw/document-tags.md) — Reusable keywords ("trefwoorden") that can be attached to documents

{% hint style="info" %}
Document columns and Document upload fields apply to the case definition as a whole — changes affect every version, not just the version currently selected. General is scoped to the selected case definition version and can only be edited on a draft.
