Display an “Overwrite confirmation” message when uploading a file with the same name

This feature is available starting with version 16.0.0.

By default, if you upload a file with the same name as one already stored in the space, the file will be automatically overwritten (updated).
The file will not be automatically saved under a different name.

[Example: The file is updated automatically.]

To prevent unintended version updates, you can configure the system to display an “confirm overwrite ” message when a file with the same name is uploaded.

How to display the “Confirm Overwrite” message during upload.

Settings > Organization > Common Settings > Confirm overwrite when uploading a file> Click the pencil icon in the lower-right corner

Set the [Confirm overwrite when uploading a file] switch to [On], then click the [OK] button to save.
After following these steps, a message asking for confirmation will appear whenever a file with the same name is uploaded.

Example of the “Confirm Overwrite” message during upload.

After setting the [Confirm overwrite when uploading a file] toggle to [On] in the section above titled [1. How to display the “Confirm Overwrite” message during upload.]if a file with the same name already exists in the destination space when you upload a file,
the “Upload Overwrite Confirmation” message will appear, stating: “A file with the same name already exists. Would you like to overwrite (Version up) the file with the same name?”

The file will be overwritten with the contents of the newly uploaded file with the same name.
The version number will also be updated.
