Adding and Updating PDF's

Updating/Replacing a PDF file

You can update/replace an existing pdf in the system by doing the following:

  • Navigate to the "/assets/pdf" folder and choose the pdf you would like you update.
  • Click Edit.
  • Select a new file to replace it with by clicking the Choose link or by dragging and dropping the file from your computer into the dotted drop zone.
  • Click Preview Draft and Submit.

*Once these steps are completed, the new File will retain the original File's name, path, and any associated Metadata that was already present. Additionally, any assets that previously linked to the original File will now link to the updated File. Cascade includes versioning so this procedure will also help in keeping track of prior versions of the PDF documents.
