  2. Select Upload new version 1 and choose the file you'd like to upload.

  3. Wrike automatically renames the file you're uploading to match the existing file name.

  4. The file is uploaded, and Wrike starts tracking which file version you're working on.

FAQ

Which file version opens?

The version that opens depends on where you access the file:

  • Older versions may open when:

    • You click a preview of a previous version in the task activity stream (e.g. “Version 2 uploaded”).

    • You open a file from a comment linked to a specific version.

    In these cases, that exact version is shown. You can switch to the latest version from the Versions panel.

  • The latest version opens when:

    • You open the file from the Files panel in a task or project.

    • You access it via the Files view in a folder, project, or space.

    • You click the file attachment directly from the activity stream.
