I made a change to a web tool, and I want to overwrite the existing one, but it says:

A web tool named XXX already exists. Please choose a differenent name that is unique within your organization.

I don't do the webbie stuff, but this sounds like a case where you have to remove something and then add it back in when overwrites are not permitted because of indexing or other things.  Can you 'remove' a web tool? given you can add one?

I apologies for any convenience. At this moment, you need to

  1. Delete your existing tool
  2. Wait for a few minutes until it's fully cleaned up on the server side
  3. Publish your refreshed tool again.

This functionality will be available in Pro 2.6, or the release right after that. Stay tuned.

We have been 'staying tuned' - for over 2 years!
