First - edit your message and expand the Attachment Posting Control Panel

After you have posted your message with an attachment you want to either delete or replace, you must edit the message. To do this, click on the little "edit" icon at the upper right of the message in question. See image below.



You will then be in the post edit page. You can edit your text can delete or change the attachments. Near the bottom of the page, you well see the attachment control panel. Click on the button labeled "Posted Attachments". See image below.

How to replace an attachment

If you want to replace the attachment, you can do that, of course. After you have expanded the Attachement Posting Control Panel (see above) instead of clicking on the delete attachment button, click on the Add Attachment button - not the button which says "Upload New Version". See below.



This will refresh the page and there will be a form to add an attachment. Pick a new file using the Browse button. After you have selected the file you wish to replace the attachment with, instead of clicking on the Add Attachment button, click on the "Upload New Version" button. See image below.



After the page refreshes again, just click on the Submit button.
