Short answer
Locate the exact correction requested, replace that inventory entry and keep the superseded version in the private archive. A replacement attachment answers a later request or corrects a known defect. It should remain traceable to the file it supersedes. Pause the check if the replacement's correction cannot be located or the inventory still presents both versions as current.

Key points
Finalise the duplicate attachment review handoff
Replace only the inventory entry tied to the unreadable or incorrect attachment. Verify that all unchanged pages remain identical, update the filename and keep the superseded file in the private archive.
Useful context
Reconcile a replacement attachment after follow-up
Deleting both files loses the history; listing both as current makes the submission ambiguous.
The application task is replacement traceability after follow-up.
Working checklist
Build the attachment change record
Open the earlier and replacement versions beside the property follow-up. Identify the exact page or detail that changed before updating the send inventory.
Keep the prior file in the private archive, mark it superseded and select only the reviewed replacement for the next handoff.
- Follow-up wording: quote the instruction or correction that required a new file.
- Superseded filename: record the earlier version exactly as it appeared in the previous inventory.
- Replacement filename: use a new version marker so the two files cannot be confused.
- Changed pages: identify the corrected or added pages rather than relying on filename similarity.
- Final inventory: list the replacement once and mark the old version as archived, not current.

Working checklist
Retain a clean replacement trail
Keep the follow-up, old filename, replacement filename and final inventory together so the change can be reproduced later.
Practical example
Example: one corrected page after follow-up
A property asks the renter to correct one unreadable page. The new PDF keeps the other pages unchanged, so the renter records the corrected page, updates the filename and replaces that single inventory entry.

Risks to avoid with duplicate attachment review
Pause the check if the replacement's correction cannot be located or the inventory still presents both versions as current.
Keep personal information relevant to the recipient's stated purpose and avoid adding sensitive material that was not requested.
Questions
Common questions
Clear answers for the decisions people usually pause on.
Which attachment does the replacement supersede?
Follow-up wording: quote the instruction or correction that required a new file. Superseded filename: record the earlier version exactly as it appeared in the previous inventory. Replacement filename: use a new version marker so the two files cannot be confused. Changed pages: identify the corrected or added pages rather than relying on filename similarity.
Can both the old and replacement attachment be marked current?
Not yet. Keep this check open until that condition is resolved.
