Replacing an image or file
Update a media item while keeping the item itself.
- Find the image or document in All media and open it.
- Check Connected from or Referrers to see which pages use it.
- Use the media replacement or upload action offered on its edit page.
- Select the new file and complete the replacement.
- Check the media item and the pages that use it.
Replacing the file changes the shared media item. Other pages using that item can show the replacement too. Upload a separate item if only one page needs a different file.
Check its title, summary, credits, and accessibility information after replacement. For a document, also test the download link. A browser or external service may temporarily show a cached copy.
