I performed some field data collection that included taking pictures as attachments. Now that I'm back at my desk, I want to update the names of the pictures, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do that. When I am in the Data section of the Hosted Feature Layer I can click on "Update Attachment", however this only gives me the option to upload a new attachment. What am I missing? How do I simply rename the current attachment? 

Thank you!

I feel like it is not native within AGOL to do so and you would have to change the name of the file on your computer and then re upload it.

@Laura Thank you for your response. It seems a bit ridiculous that we can't easily change the name of an attachment when viewing in it AGOL. Last night, I downloaded each attachment, renamed it, and uploaded the renamed attachment. It was a tedious process, but it accomplished my goal.
