Updating existing files

Checking out and checking in files to modify them creates a new version. Sometimes, you might need to update a file without creating a new version. You can update existing files without creating a new version as described in the following task.

To update an existing file:

1. If you want to first edit the active version that resides in Project Portal, perform the following steps. Otherwise, skip to step 2.

1. Open the file on your computer by viewing it as described in Viewing files. The file is opened read-only in the application registered in Windows for the file type.
2. Save the file temporarily to your computer but do not change the name of the file. The file becomes read/write.
3. Edit the file as necessary and save your changes.

2. Upload the file as described in Adding files to documents.
