Change preview pdf file on shared link
I have a pdf file. I created a link to it and shared it. Then I replaced that pdf file with another one with the same name. Now when I share the link to my updated pdf file, the preview shows an image with the contents of the old pdf file that I have already changed.
Can I change the preview of my pdf file to match the actual content?

Hi ratushnyivm, if it doesn't cause too much chaos, can you try to delete the link, then re-create it, and check the results?

Hi!
It helps, but it loses the point of what I'm doing it all for. I need to be able to swap out the contents of a file without changing the reference to it. - Megan3 years ago

Hey ratushnyivm, as my colleague Jay said, this seems to be related to how Telegram holds a cache of the file.
It's hard to advise, and pinpoint exactly what it is, because it's outside of our control, since it works as expected on our end.
I hope this helps!
