Updating an Existing Office Document

Sometimes you may need to make changes to an Office Document after it has been added to your site. If you do this, we recommend updating the Office Document you already uploaded as a new version of the existing file instead of creating a new Office Document from the Add Content menu. This can help reduce the number of files uploaded to your site, making it easier to find specific files.

How to Update an Existing Document

1. Open the file you want to replace in the preview pane
2. Click Edit
3. Upload the new file file by dragging and dropping it into the file selection area or clicking choose to find the file on your computer.
4. Click Preview Draft
5. Click Submit
6. Enter version comments that will be saved in the asset’s version history.
