How do I update a PDF or Microsoft Office document such as Word, Excel, etc., in Contribute that is already on the web?
• Update the document on your machine and save it. • In Contribute edit the page which has the link to the document • Edit that link and click “File on My Computer”. The Insert Link dialog box should open, click “File on My Computer”, and then the “Browse” button. • Select the document that you just edited. • Click “Ok”. Click “OK” on the box reminding you that a change to the document on your computer will not be made to the document on the web. Disregard the message about being able to edit the file in Contribute. • Publish your document to the web. Contribute will automatically upload your document to a directory called “documents” within the directory that you are working. Because the document already exists you will be asked to either replace the document with your version or create a document with a similar name. Choose “Replace with your version” and then click OK. The new version should now be in place.
