hi @Taweepong.S,

My apologies for our delay in response to your post.

If you really want the new file to have the same display name as a deleted model please do the following:

1) Select the parent folder you deleted the model from

2) Restore Model from the Recycling Bin

This is the icon for the recycling bin. Found in the upper right hand corner of your docs folder

3) Select the file you want restored and click the restore arrow in the upper right hand corner of the file.

4) refresh to http://docs.b360.autodesk.com

5) select the newly restored file and select "Rename"

This can be found by clicking the three dots in the upper right hand corner of the file

Rename it anything else like "Old Revit July 26"

6) Publish New Model with Title "A1"

Please let me know if you need any more assistance with this. Have a great day!
