Replace Files in Asset Manager

We use the Asset Manager to host some pdf files that we want to make public. It would be super helpful if we could could replace files in the asset manager instead of having to upload new. 

Replacing files would allow us to update the file itself without having to update all the pages the file may already be linked to.

    We have clients with 30+ documents referenced on multiple locations. A replace feature would help us out so much. A bit surprised to see this hasn't been addressed yet!

    It's been five years, please add this basic feature I beg of you.

    No-brainer! This feature would help so much!

    I just commented on the Upload and replace images (all instances) idea, which should be merged with this one. Please prioritize asset replacement via the assets manager! It is much needed, by many developers.

    Hey! 👋

    I am currently planning to build a simple app to help us manage assets, for now I am focusing on being able to get clean and professional Asset URLs instead of the ugly URLs Webflow provides us.

    I may be adding a feature to easily replace files as well and not have to deal with this kind of problem anymore...

    I am currently launching a WAITING LIST so if you really want that issue to be solved and why not ask for other requests subscribe here: https://cleanassetlink.webflow.io/


    See you. Brahim 🙂

    In 2023, not seeing how to replace a file, which breaks the ability to host and link files that periodically need to be updated. PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE

    Come on, Webflow, catch up with what your users need. Based on the thread, we've been asking for this very basic feature for YEARS!

    You can't be serious I can't do this...it's 2022!

    This feature is one of the most important ones for easy website management.

    replacing images from the file manager would be much easier than changing them everywhere used.

    I've wondered about this one in the past +1

    It's now 2022, this is a generally obvious and much needed feature. If you use the CMS to host PDF resources or file assets that are located in multiple locations across the site, updating the original source asset by replacing the file, would then update it across the site in one process, vs what it happening now.

    please add this. it is necessary for me, too.

    Give us access to the server if you are not going to build this in. That way we can update/replace the file like web designers have been able to since the start of the internet...

    Hey Webflow, why is this not sorted? You have this developement money but you're missing some basics which let down the app. and make larger business site builds a bit of a joke.
