💡 FAQ
My updated file comes with a new name, what do I do?
If you'd like to change the file's name together with the updated file, we recommend to simply 'upload a new version', followed by renaming the 'Document title' inside Showell. As this will keep the existing internal 'link address', and so keep its analytics.
