 * Hi,
 * i have hundreds of pdfs on my website and some of them needs to get replaced 
   by a new version of the pdf. Is there a way, that the pdf gets replaced automatically
   as soon as it have the same name?
 * For example I have a pdf called “example” and I want to add a new pdf called “
   example” too. Is it possible, that example 1 gets updated by example 2 just through
   adding it to the WordPress media library?
 * Bests,

 * Hi, [@trixox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trixox/),
 * Unfortunately that’s not possible because it means we would have to modify WordPress’
   native behavior. That would trigger many issues with WordPress itself and other
   plugins and themes. 🙁
 * Best,
