Updating content that has been deployed to a Rstudio Connect server

I have an app that allows users to upload static .pdf documents to a designated place on our RStudio Connect Server.

As a maintainer of the app and the server, i have noticed alot of duplicated files. I am not updating the app to first check for duplicates using the title name of the file before uploading a new.

That part of the app woks. Now im trying to make it more user friendly by allowing the user to be able to select a button 'update' if a filewith the same name has already been updated.

I am using the connectapi package: is it possible to update the content?

I read the connectapi documentation and i thought the content_update() function could work, but it seems this package is no longer available.

Can anyone help?

Yes, you can update content on RStudio Connect using the connectapi package. The function you’re looking for is content_update(), but if it's not available, try using deploy() or replace_content() instead.

Check if your connectapi package is up to date, as functions may have changed. You can also explore content_item() to retrieve existing content and upload_file() to replace it. If you're still facing issues, reviewing the latest RStudio Connect API documentation.

Thank you. I was able to use deploy()
