			You can replace an uploaded file with a new version. This means any links will now point to the new version.
			* Find the "File:" page for the existing file on the wiki. Do this by:
			** Searching the Wiki for the ''file name'' of the original file, or part of the file name. '''Hit [Enter] in the search bar''' to show all search results.
			** In the search results, click on the Wiki-Page of your File - it will begin with "'''File:'''", such as "File: My Photo.jpg"
			** Under "File History", click "'''upload new version'''".
			** Upload your new version of the file. It will automatically have exact same destination file name on the server, so all links to the file will still work.
			** (It can take ~1 day for user's web browsers to stop using cached old versions of the file.)

Then paste it into a NotePad.exe or TextEdit.app window on your computer (optionally save the file to your computer somewhere).
