Edit a Document (Upload New Version)

Editing documents must be done through applications on your desktop. Documents themselves cannot be edited from the browser. Instead, you can download the document to your PC, make edits, and then upload that file as a new version of an existing document. The URL will remain the same, so if a visitor follows a link to get to the document, or you’re replacing an image on the site, the user will only see the newest published version of the file.

Step 1: Download the document to your computer for editing.

1. Open Document Explorer (click Files in the GeoDocs toolbar) and navigate to your document.
2. Click the document name and select View Content Properties from the dropdown.
3. On the Content History tab, click View next to the most recent published version of the document. This will give you the option to save the document to your computer. 

Step 2: Edit and Save the document on your computer.

Step 3: Upload the new version in place of the previous version.

1. In Document Explorer, click on your document file name and this time select Edit from the dropdown menu.
   
2. In the Edit Content window, on the Content Details tab, click Browse and select the file from your computer. At this time if you can also make changes to the properties or location of the document.
