Replace a File in the Repository

You can replace an existing file in the repository with a new file, and all references to the original file are updated to reference the replacement file.

To update a file with a new version, you must use the Replace function, not the Upload function. Uploading the same file more than once does not replace its previous versions, as all uploaded files are assigned unique internal filenames in the LMS. Replacing a file keeps its unique identifier. 

Administrators with unrestricted access to the Repository Manager feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Manage Features) and unrestricted access permission to a file can replace it.

To replace a file with a new version

1. Go to Manage Center > Learning > Repository Manager. The Repository Manager opens in a new window and lists your personal folders.
2. Click the folder containing the file you want to replace. The folder's Overview page opens, where you can see its files and sub-folders.
3. Select the check box of the file you want to replace and click Replace.
4. Click Choose File to select a file to upload, replacing the original file.
5. Click Upload. The Upload Results page opens. 
6. Click OK to complete the upload, or Cancel Upload to cancel it.
