Update (Supersede) a Document (using the classic upload)

If you need to upload a newer version of a document that is already in Aconex follow these steps.

In Aconex updating a document is called 'superseding'. 

Follow these steps to:

  • Add a new version of your document (make a change to an existing document), or
  • Correct a mistake (such as fixing a typo in the title, or setting the correct discipline)

The new version will become the current version of the document. All versions of a document are kept in Aconex automatically. If you want to view an older version, you can do so by accessing previous versions of a superseded document.
