Replacing Documents & Images

Easily update PDFs, images and other documents.

If you've previously uploaded a file to Cascade, you can replace it with a newer version without starting from scratch. Replacing the file has a major advantage: the links you and other web editors have created to the PDF or image will be maintained automatically.

Accessibility Check

PDFs, Documents and Images must be accessible. Before you begin, review info about document accessibility and Cascade file size limits.

Only use text-free graphics and photos to communicate in images unless it is a logo or similar brand mark that is not trying to convey content. This ensures that the text can be resized, read by screen readers, and adapted to different user needs. For more on our specific guidelines, review the Web Accessibility help page.

Replace a PDF, Document or Image

  1. Navigate to and Edit the file you wish to update.
  2. Select "Drop a file here or choose one from your computer" to browse your computer for the updated file.
  3. To save, select Preview Draft, then Submit >> Check Content & Submit.
  4. Publish the file. (There's no need to update or publish any pages linking to your file because the URL did not change.)
