    Replacing an image that's referenced from many RTE's

    Let's say I've uploaded an image in to the media section and I have a bunch of pages on my site that reference that same image as chosen in their respective rich text editors.

    If I later decide to change that image then do I have to go through all (potentially hundreds) of articles that reference that image or can I somehow tell Umbraco to point to a new image?  There doesn't seem to be a replace option that I can see.

    I realise I could overwrite the file in the webserver but I need a solution that an editor can do in the backoffice.

    Thanks

    Hi IanS

    Hmm, if I remember correctly overwriting the uploaded image in the media section should do the trick? Have you tried this?

    Thanks Jan, of course, you just need to browse for a different file.  That worked! Not sure how I missed that

    Hi, I tried this and it allowed the images to be updated in Umbraco, but not on the live site.  To make the new image show up on the live site, I had to go through and publish each page where the image was referenced.  Is there a different way to do this?

    Jennifer - not tried this yet, but I know you can publish the entire site by clicking on "content" and then click the 3 dots beside "content" then click "do something else" then "Republish entire site"

    I was hoping there was a way to not have to publish the entire site because we have some pages that are in the process of being modified.  I'm fairly new to Umbraco -- is it possible to tell where images are used on the site so I don't have to look through the whole site or publish the whole site?
