Editing descriptions of uploaded files

Is there a way to edit the description of an uploaded file in the File Cabinet? I can't seem to find a way to do other deleting and reuploading the file.

Lorraine,


I think you can't. I have this as a Feature Request some time ago.

Sanjay - You ae correct.  This was a design oversight on our behalf that we plan on correcting. The support ticket is #1315.


 

Thanks Shaun. That helps as I use the File Cabinet for my Groupsite very heavily.

Hi Shaun, has this been fixed? If it has the solution is not obvious.

Hi, Jo. You are not able to edit file descriptions today. We know it can be a hassle and also look forward to this improvement. You're always invited to check on a status (Ticket #1315) and we'll also make a post here when the ticket is closed.

This is slightly different, but we have linked some of our file cabinet documents from our summary page in the html module.  But then we needed to upload updated versions of those docs.  I didn't see any way to do this.  So I had to upload the file and delete the old one and then change the hyperlinks.  Did I miss something or is there an easier way to update an existing doc in the file cabinet?
