Updating an Asset Style

Changing the thumbnail of an alternative style

Updating the style of certain assets allows an admin to either replace the original file of an asset or one of its alternative versions. This can be done through the edit form for an individual asset.

1. Navigate to the edit form of the asset you wish to change
2. Click the change link for the asset style to change
3. Select a new file to change
4. Click "Go" to upload the new file

The regenerate image sizes button will allow the regeneration of alternative asset styles from the original

Sometimes it makes sense to entirely replace an asset with another of the same type. Rather the adding another asset to the system and fixing all links user have the ability to regenerate a changed asset. To fully change an asset:

1. Navigate to the edit form of the asset to regenerate
2. Change the original file by uploading a new original version
3. Click the regenerate button
4. Accept the warning

Notes on changing Assets

• Assets can only replaced with an asset of the same type. For jpg images this means it must be replaced with an image of the same format.
