Can I overwrite content on the file
Can I overwrite content on the file server or must I delete the existing file and create a new upload URL with the new file? I would like to overwrite PDFs that have been fetched and updated by the client if possible.

Delete + Upload a new file.

Typically, you are saving the storage ID of the file in your database somewhere (eg
await db.insert("pdfs", {pdf: storage_id}) ). You can overwrite that row of the table with a new storage ID with db.patch or db.replace . https://docs.convex.dev/database/writing-data#updating-existing-documents
But to your question - you cannot change the target that a given storage ID points to.Uploading and Storing Files | Convex Developer Hub

Thanks for the quick response @nipunn . I'll implement my update functions like how you suggested.
