Restriction: This feature is available only in Premium groups, Enterprise groups, and legacy Free groups.
It is not possible to edit the content of existing files in the Files section of a group’s website, but you can upload a new version of a file to replace the existing version. You can also edit the name and description of an existing file or folder, and you can update the URL and description of a linked file or website.
To make any of these changes:
- Go to the Files page.
Desktop browser: On the group’s website, in the left menu, click Files.
Mobile device: At the bottom of a group page, tap the More icon and then tap Files on the More menu.
Note: If you do not see a Files entry on the menu, then the Files feature is disabled for that group, members are not allowed to view files, or the group is a Free group that was created after August 24, 2020.
- Locate the file, folder, or link you want to modify, and click or tap the Update icon (pencil in a square) next to it.
- In the Update popup, make your desired changes. If you want to notify group members about the update, select the Notify Members checkbox. The email notice will contain the #file-notice system hashtag.
- Click or tap the Update button.
Note: The date in the Updated column on the Files page changes only in these cases:
- A new version of a file is uploaded.
- The description of a file, link, or folder is changed.
- For a link: The URL is changed.
