Uploading Files & Replacing Content In-Place
When you maintain manuals offline or export updated PDFs and Markdown drafts from external tools, Standalone Qwiki protects your existing URLs, share tokens, and custom themes during updates.
Uploading New Files
Click New Document at the top of the left sidebar and choose the Target Category / Folder first (your category choice automatically stays synchronized across every document-type tab inside the modal).
Handling Filename & Slug Collisions
If an uploaded .md or .pdf matches an existing document's slug or filename, Standalone Qwiki pauses and opens the β οΈ Document Already Exists dialog showing the existing title, slug, and category, with two choices:
- Replace Existing Document: Overwrites the existing document's file contents while preserving its URL slug, category placement, custom themes, visibility permissions, and cryptographic share key.
- Upload as Copy: Saves the file as a separate chapter using an auto-incremented or custom URL slug so both versions exist side-by-side.
Replacing Content Directly from a Chapter
You don't need to go through New Document to refresh an existing .md or .pdf page:
- Open the chapter you want to update.
- Click Replace Document Content in the document toolbar.
- Select the updated
.mdor.pdffile and click Upload & Replace.
Whenever Revision History (tool-revisions) is enabled, replacing a document automatically saves a snapshot of the previous file before writing the new oneβso you can always roll back in one click if the wrong file was uploaded.
