Hello, I am experiencing a similar issue but less so with the model as a whole and more so with the data associated with individual elements that have been changed in the models. For example, some elements were copy pasted thus resulting in multiple elements with the same name. We noticed this, changed the elements names in Revit, re-published to overwrite and ended up with no different result. We deleted the models out as these elements are a part of a layer of things we want to toggle on and off and re-published after using the data updater. Same result, we ran through some trouble shooting, deleted caches from both Revit and Trimble Connect and we are still experiencing a lack of accurately overwritten files. We fear we will have to re-draw these elements individually to accurately represent each "spool" with its own name and individualized data rather than being able to update each elements name but it appears to be our only option left. Not having the ability to overwrite is making this tool practically worthless to us so I really hope to hear what the solution here is as I am beginning to doubt that our models as a whole are being properly overwritten.

Subject: Trimble Connect Updating Existing files in Project
Hello Everyone,
Our team is seeing an issue when uploading files to a project via Trimble Connect.
We routinely update .csv, .dxf files that are in a project. We have noticed over the past week that if we upload an updated file into a project that is using the same naming convention as an existing file, the file is not updating even though the modified date and version history is showing it has been updated. It appears the file is reverting itself whenever it is being downloaded to a controller in the field.
Has anyone experienced this issue? We do have a work around of updating the file name adding 'todays date' but figured I would post this issue for any insight.
Thanks
