# Accessing Objects Just After they are Saved by Entity Framework

**[No Dogma Blog \(Bryan Hogan\)](https://daily.dev/sources/bryanhogan)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A practical guide showing how to access entities immediately after they are saved by Entity Framework, with their primary keys already assigned.

This is useful for post-save notifications or any logic that requires the newly assigned primary key.
