Hello @akashch2 ,

I'm not sure if I understood the requirement that you are trying to solve. Could you please provide some background? Also, what are the files being replaced with? Could you explain with an example?

 

Also, what have you tried so far and would you like to share the results from your experimentation?

 

regards,

Preetpal

      @akashch2 

       

      You would need to use the "Create Version" option if you want to retain metadata.

       

      Else, if you want to get rid of old asset altogether, then:

      • export metadata
      • Upload new asset (with Replace)
      • Import metadata

       

      Link to metadata export and import of Assets
