Replace a PDF without changing the QR code

Learn how SGNL lets you replace a PDF while keeping the same tracked link and QR code.

One of the main benefits of dynamic PDF assets is that the file can change while the SGNL link and QR code stay the same.

Can I replace a PDF without changing the QR code?

Yes. Replace the PDF file attached to the existing asset and the same SGNL link and QR code can continue pointing to the updated document.

Open the existing PDF asset

Go to the saved asset inside SGNL.

Choose Replace PDF

Upload the new version you want future readers to receive.

Confirm the change

SGNL updates the asset so future visitors receive the new document.

Test the live link or QR code

Verify that the updated document opens correctly before continuing distribution.

Warning

Replacing a PDF changes the document shown by every link and QR code connected to that asset.

What happens to analytics after a replacement?

Historical analytics remain associated with the asset. When you replace a file, review the replacement date while interpreting older views so different document versions do not become misleading.
