*Replace* option for media files

Michael Cheich

Another not very sexy feature request - but man, this is one of those convenience things I wish existed.

I want to go to my OP files, and just update a file with a newer version, and have all the existing links pointing to that file, now just go to the new version.

Vimeo does this with videos, so after embedding a video in multiple places, you don't have to search them out and replace the embed code.

That is exactly what I have to do for Lead Magnets that we update periodically - have to track down all the possible places I would have linked to it.  Mostly  Emails and landing pages, but it would be useful just to have a single point and know I covered them all, and am not sending out old data to customers.

Hi there Michael!

To update your existing files, you'll just need to upload a file with the same name. Are you seeing different behavior in your account?

After posting this, I saw on the FB support group that you could replace files by uploading with the same name like you mentioned, which I was able to do. 

I do think though, that it'd be nice if the app had a "replace" or "update" option for the media file actions to accomplish this, so that the file could have a different name. 

In my example, I had a lead magnet that has several versions (all of which I store in our google drive), and I wanted to verify I have file_name-v2 uploaded.
