Required Editions
| Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience |

Uploading a new version of a file replaces the previous version, but previous versions are still available. To see previous versions, click Show all versions on the file detail page. If your original file was uploaded via a feed post, use Upload New Version to replace the old version.
-
Click Upload New Version from any of these locations:
- The file detail page
- The file previewer
- The Files page, via the actions arrow for the file
- On a file in a feed, via the More Actions arrow (available in Salesforce Classic only)
-
Click Choose File, and select a file from your computer.
At this point, you can enter a note about what changed in the What Changed? field. This information is shown on the Version History list.
- Click Upload New Version (Salesforce Classic) or Start Upload (Lightning Experience).
The file detail page and any previous posts show the updated version.
Note
- Only file owners, collaborators, and users with the Modify All Data permission can upload new versions of a file. To learn who can perform which actions on a file, see Who Can See My File?.
- The file owner doesn't change when a collaborator uploads a new version.
- If the file is from Salesforce CRM Content, you can't upload a new version from the file detail page. You can click Go to Content Detail Page and upload a new version there. (Available in Salesforce Classic only.)
