# Switch File to the Uploaded Asset

Copy the uploaded file into the LinkrUI folder to create a local-cloud link for future updates.

When you upload a local file to the DAM, two things happen: 

1. LinkrUI replaces the open local file with the newly uploaded asset. 
2. The local file and the newly added DAM asset are linked. Now, whenever you make a local change or a change to the version in the DAM, you will be notified that they are not synched, with an option to update and sync. Or with an option to stick with the version you have opened.

###

1. Upload a new asset to LinkrUI. 
2. Select the <kbd>Switch file to the uploaded asset</kbd> checkbox.
3. The file in LinkrUI will now be linked to the one on your device.
4. The newly uploaded asset opens as the current file.

Once the file is copied, the local file and the cloud asset will be linked, and the newly uploaded asset opens as the current file.

If you make any additional changes to the local file, you can push those changes to the asset in the DAM.

{% hint style="info" %}
After the upload is complete, the asset will appear with a checkmark icon, which means that it exists both in the DAM and locally.
{% endhint %}

There will not be a noticeable difference with the open file.&#x20;

The local file is not automatically linked with the newly uploaded asset in the LinkrUI panel.

It will be indicated in the LinkrUI panel with a Cloud icon, which means it exists only in the DAM.

Any changes you make to the local file will not trigger a warning that your local version is newer.

To link the local file to the asset that was just uploaded to the DAM, select the <kbd>Switch file to the uploaded asset</kbd> option. The file in LinkrUI will now be linked[^1] to the file on your device.

[^1]: <kbd>C:\Users\\\<user-name>\Documents</kbd>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.santacruzsoftware.com/linkrui/asset-action-menu-list/upload-new-assets/move-to-linkrui-folder.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
