It is not possible to edit the content of existing files in the Files section of a group’s website, but you can upload a new version of a file to replace the existing version. You can also edit the name and description of an existing file or folder, and you can update the URL and description of a linked file or website.

To make any of these changes:

  1. .

    Desktop browser: On the group’s website, in the left menu, click Files.

    Mobile device: At the bottom of a group page, tap the More icon and then tap Files on the More menu.

    Note: If you do not see a Files entry on the menu, then the Files feature is disabled for that group, members are not allowed to view files, or the group is a Free group that was created after August 24, 2020.

  2. Locate the file, folder, or link you want to modify, and click or tap the Update icon (pencil in a square) next to it.
  3. In the Update popup, make your desired changes. If you want to notify group members about the update, select the Notify Members checkbox. The email notice will contain the #file-notice system hashtag.
