Thanks for the reply! So basically what I'm trying to say, for example, I 
have an excel file that has a table of data in it. After a period of time, 
the data in the file needs updating. Another example is if I had an AutoCAD 
or SolidWorks design that after a period of time, the design needs 
modifications. Is it possible to make these changes through Ansible? 
Meaning can Ansible launch the necessary software to run these formats.  My 
other question was can Ansible detect these changes to these types of 
files? And are there formats that Ansible can't detect changes that happen 
to them? 
I hope this clarifies my question.
Best,
Saleh
