# How long does Perplexity take to reflect an updated file in a Space?

I replaced a reference document in a Perplexity Space with a newer version, but I’m unsure when the updated text becomes available in searches. I don’t want to rely on an answer that may still be drawing from the older copy.

For anyone using **[Perplexity Spaces](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/162290/would-you-use-perplexity-spaces-as-a-shared-research-notebook)** with frequently revised documents, how do you check that a replacement has been picked up? Does it update quickly, or have you needed to remove and re-add a file before asking questions about the new version?
