Version Control - Google Drive

You may want to upload a newer version of a PDF file but don’t want the links to break. For example, if you shared a document with your students/colleagues by giving them the Google Drive link, but you delete it and upload an updated version as a new file, the link you originally shared will no longer work.

By uploading a new version instead using version control, the updated version will replace the old one and still have the same link.
