Overwrite features in hosted feature layers?

[PaulStephenson]

New in September this was listed as an enhancement to ArcGIS Online. The documentation says you simply go to a hosted feature layer properties and choose Overwrite. I finally went to take a look at this and have not seen an option or button to choose Overwrite. Am I overlooking or missing something here? It does sound like a nice alternative for opening an mxd and running through the Service Manager.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

This option will only be available if you created a hosted feature service by uploading a zipped Shapefile or File Geodatabase.

Thanks Jake. That was not apparent to me in the documentation. It states that the updated source file would be a shapefile or geodatabase, but not that the service had to be created by zipping & uploading them (as opposed to publishing from desktop).
