This article describes how to replace media entries.
You can replace media, and retain the entry’s metadata, URL and analytics. The time-based metadata on the entry is kept in place, however it will likely be out of sync with the new media. The time-based metadata should be manually adjusted.
If the media is published in a moderated channel/category, media will be unpublished and moved to the pending moderation state. If the media is in an unmoderated channel/category, the media will still be published.
Media will be unpublished from a moderated location (channel/gallery/category) and will remain published otherwise.
To replace a media entry
- Access the Edit Media Page.
- Click on the Replace Media or Replace Video tab.
Replace Media screen displays.
- Click Upload from Desktop or Upload from URL.
If uploading from desktop, select your file then click Open.
If uploading from URL, type a valid URL in the "enter the URL here" field and click Validate URL. If the URL is not validated, you receive notification. Supported protocols are http, https, and ftp. - After the upload is complete, click Approve Replacement to approve, or Cancel Replacement to cancel.
