Replace a Document Content

Replace Content allows you to replace a document's source file in Meridian PowerWeb and PowerUser without updating its revision. You can perform this action while the document is in an editable workflow state in your to-do list. The Modified By and Modified On properties update when using the Replace Content command. You can replace the content of only one document at a time.
