Renaming PDF files
#1
Hi,

I have a collection of songs saved on Dropbox, many of which I already edited in MS (drawing, highlighting, symbols, ...). Syncing works fine.
I only cant find a way to rename the PDF source files without creating duplicate songs (i.e. a new one is imported because MS finds a "new" file, the renamed PDF).
My idea would be:
1. rename PDF on Dropbox from SONG1.pdf to SONG1a.pdf (no syncing to MS yet)
2. tell SONG1 in MS that the source file is SONG1a.pdf
3. syncing: SONG1 is linked to SONG1a.pdf and simply puts the existing highlights, drawings, ... on the "new" background sheet

But it seems it does not work like this. 
Is there a way I can rename source PDFs? After some time working with MS and with growing libraries, it happens that file nomenclatures need some corrections.

Select the song in MobileSheets call "Swap File" and replace SONG1.pdf with SONG1a.pdf. Isn't that what you are looking for?

Swapping the file and then synchronizing should update the Dropbox folder properly (make sure the sync type is set to "Update Folder" and not "two-way").
