Updating data in uploaded files

You can replace or append data in an uploaded file with data from an external file.

About this task

During the Append file operation, you add rows of data from an external file at the end of data in an uploaded file.

To perform both these operations with success, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

External file contains data, not only column names.
The names of columns are the same in both files.
