Google-drive – Replacing a file in Google Docs

google-drive

Is there any way to replace the uploaded (unconverted) PDF file?

For example, I have a PDF file and I realized that there were some typos in it, so I wish to upload the revised file in place of the original one.

The intention is to use the same share address as the original file but make it point to the revised one.

Buried in the help pages for Google docs I did find a page that discusses uploading multiple versions of a file

You can upload different versions of the same file to your Documents List and easily keep track of them by selecting the Add or manage versions... option (or View versions... if you have viewing permission only).

This feature lets you upload new versions of a file, as well as download previous versions of it, and delete older versions. It makes it easier overall to collaborate on a file with other people. Each version counts toward your total Google Docs storage quota, so you should clean out older versions every once in a while.

This feature is available for uploaded files that are not in Google Docs format. For Google Docs, you can use the revision history, which lets you see all the different versions of a doc.
