Hi all,

Thanks,

No, it is not possible (yet). But there are workarounds (not official, try it at your own risk) if you don't want to unpublish the project. 
 
 Check out the file you want to replace. 
 Add the new file locally without check in (it needs to have another name) 
 Run it through SDL Studio to create SDLXLIFF files 
 Delete the old files 
 Rename all the new files with the names of the old files (not only SLDXLIFF files but also the ones in the original file format) 
 Check in the files (the new files will replace the ones on the server 
 Delete in Studio the files you added (you will only delete the file reference, not the file itself because you have given it another name 
 
 Try this on a sample project to see if it works for you. 
 Kind regards 
 Angelo
