How to REPLACE media
About the media Replace functionReplaces an existing media file with a newly uploaded file of the same name.
The new file inherits all of the characteristics and settings from the old file including fencing, playlist/campaign settings, duration, tags, etc. Using REPLACE, you won't have to spend time doing those things manually (and maybe forgetting something).
Very useful if you need to fix a typo in a graphic or make changes to a video. 1.
