Replacing a file link used globally across product pages

Replacing a file link used globally across product pages

We have a size chart that is linked to all product pages and we want to replace it with our updated size chart. We have a separate page with all the size charts, but individual size charts are also link in the product description. 

 

Is there a way to replace this file link everywhere it is used without having to go though product by product and update the link? 

 

I tried replacing the file under content -> files and it did not update the link on the product pages. 

 

Thank you!

Hi @saraheleve to replace a link or other content in ALL products the sanest way is to export the product data and do a find&replace in excel or google sheets.

Alternatives are a theme customization to swap one url for another but this only affects the online-sales channels, so any other channels would still display and irrelevant link which can also be search engines if their not given similar replaced data in things like JSON+LD (schema.org) .

 

This is why it's a good idea to have such content in it's own metafield, or section block etc so it's universally controllable.
