If you have a newer version of a file that you have already added to your site don't delete the old version! Instead replace the old file with the new version. Here's how.
-
Hover over Dashboard and press Files. The File Manager Menu will pop up.
-
Find the file you want to replace.
For more on finding files, refer to Searching files and Filtering files.
-
Click on the file you want to replace.
Click on the file itself, or anywhere on the row containing the file—just don’t check the box, as that does nothing.
-
Choose Replace in the menu that appears.
The Replace panel will appear.
-
In the Upload File section of the Replace panel, press the Browse/Choose File button.
As you can see in the figure, different browsers use different language here, so choose appropriately.
-
Select the file on your hard drive you want to use as a replacement.
-
Press the Open/Choose button.
Again, different browsers use different language.
-
Press the Upload button.
Browsers tend to use the same language here, but not always.
-
The Upload Complete panel indicates a successful upload.
After a few moments, depending upon the size of the file & the speed of your Internet connection, you’ll see the Upload Complete panel, indicating that the upload was successful.
Press the Continue button and you're done!
Note: all of the old links to the file are automatically updated to point to the new version of the file. You don't need to update them!
