Change preview pdf file on shared link

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?

Hello!
In the last screenshot I expect to see a preview with version2, because I have already changed the file and the link leads to the file with version2.

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.

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!
