Duplicate file handling

If a cookbook being uploaded already exists in the Software Repository, the override dialog appears providing you with options for handling the duplicate file:

  • Replace: Replace (overwrite) the contents of the existing file.
  • Replace All: When there are multiple existing files with the same name as the file you are importing, you can replace (overwrite) the contents of all the existing file.
  • Skip: Skip the replacement of a single file. If you have multiple existing files with the same name as the file you are importing, you can select which files to skip or not. Skipping the import of a file does not affect other files with different names if you are importing multiple files. Only the specified file(s) will be skipped, the other specified files will be imported.
  • Skip All: All specified files with the same name as the file you are importing will be skipped and not replaced.
  • Cancel: Cancels the Import Packages operation entirely. No files are imported.
  • Help: Provides online help for the current dialog.
