Replacing files in Assets 10

In some scenarios, a temporary version of a file is uploaded to Assets, such as an image in a low resolution. When the final version of that file becomes available (in a higher resolution and/or as a different file type), the already uploaded file in Assets needs to be replaced by that final version.

This can be done by using the Replace option.

Step 1. In Assets, locate the file that you want to replace.

Step 2. Right-click the file and choose Replace from the context menu.

Step 3. Browse to the new file, select it, and click Open.

Note: The file that you are replacing the original file with has to be stored outside of Assets (such as on your local system or a network drive).

The original file is replaced by the new file.

Note: Metadata that describes file properties such as the file name is never replaced.
