# upload updated document

 * I would like to update a file, so that it has the same ID. I see in the documentation
   about the Download Manager plug it says “Move, copy, edit files.”
    I’m fine with
   editing it. Or whatever I need to do to just have it keep the same ID since folks
   already have that download link. Should I use the asset manager, delete the old
   file, upload the updated version, and if the file has the same name, then it 
   will get the same ID?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fupload-updated-document%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You can just upload the new file from the edit package screen. Updating a package
   with a new file doesn’t change the package/post ID.
