Uploading a new version of a file replaces the previous version, but [previous versions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_files_history.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The file detail page and the Version History list give you access to lots of useful file actions and information.") are still available. To see previous versions, click **Show all versions** on the file detail page. If your original file was uploaded via a feed post, use **Upload New Version** to replace the old version.

1. Click **Upload New Version** from any of these locations:
    
    - The file detail page
    - The file previewer
    - The Files page, via the actions arrow for the file
    - On a file in a feed, via the More Actions arrow (available in Salesforce Classic only)
2. Click **Choose File**, and select a file from your computer.
    
    At this point, you can enter a note about what changed in the What Changed? field. This information is shown on the [Version History](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_files_history.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The file detail page and the Version History list give you access to lots of useful file actions and information.") list.
3. Click **Upload New Version** (Salesforce Classic) or **Start Upload** (Lightning Experience).

The file detail page and any previous posts show the updated version.

Note

- Only file owners, collaborators, and users with the Modify All Data permission can upload new versions of a file. To learn who can perform which actions on a file, see [Who Can See My File?](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_files_settings_perms.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Your files in Salesforce can be private to you, privately shared, or visible to your entire company. Learn how to identify a file’s sharing settings and how to change them.").
- The file owner doesn't change when a collaborator uploads a new version.
- If the file is from Salesforce CRM Content, you can't upload a new version from the file detail page. You can click **Go to Content Detail Page** and upload a new version there. (Available in Salesforce Classic only.)

- [Follow a File](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_files_following.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Follow a file to see updates in your Chatter feed, including when a new version of the file is uploaded. If you stop following a file, the file remains in your Files list, but you don't see updates about it in your feed anymore.")
