✔️ Limitations of File Box

The following limitation used to exist in older versions, But is irrelevant for newer versions (Since 0.9.0.RC6)

• You can't update any of existing files in File Box through Civilizer UI interface.
  • When you try to upload a file to the location where a file with the same name already has been placed, an error will occur.
  • You can do either of the following workarounds:
    • Delete or move the existing file first, then upload the new file.
