 * Unfortunately, directly replacing uploaded files within a WPForms entry from 
   the admin dashboard isn’t something WPForms currently supports. Even on paid 
   plans where entry editing is available, file upload fields can’t be swapped out
   through the entry editor the way text fields can. That’s a real limitation we
   hear about, and we’ll pass the feedback along to the team.
 * Here are the most practical paths forward depending on your situation:
 * **Ask the user to resubmit.** The cleanest option is to delete the incorrect 
   entry and ask the affiliate to fill out the form again with the right file. You
   can set up a direct link back to the form to make it easy for them.
 * **Replace the file manually.** If you need to keep the existing entry intact,
   uploaded files are stored in your WordPress Media Library and physically in `/
   wp-content/uploads/wpforms/`. You can locate the specific file there via FTP 
   or your host’s file manager and replace it with the correct one, keeping the 
   same filename so the entry link still works.
 * **Edit the entry’s file reference (advanced).** On paid plans with entry editing
   enabled, you can technically edit the file URL stored in an entry — but this 
   requires uploading the replacement image to the Media Library first and then 
   updating the entry field with the new file path. It’s a bit manual but doable.
 * If you’d like step-by-step help with any of these, our support team can walk 
   you through it at [https://wpforms.com/support/](https://wpforms.com/support/)(
   available for paid users).
