The Update File Reference Entity step enables Users to update a file for an existing FileReferenceEntity. Once a FileReferenceEntity is created, the associated file remains in FileStorage, even if the FileReferenceEntity has been deleted. This step enables the file to be updated (overwritten) whenever a User uploads a new version, ensuring that the latest file is always linked to the corresponding FileReferenceEntity and preventing unused files from cluttering storage.

Users should refer to the following articles for more information on FileReferenceEntities and File Storage:
