Yes it is possible to update an image and keep the same URL.



When you upload the new image you want to make its public_id be the same as the existing image you're trying to replace. Then your Cloudinary account will be updated with the new image overriding the old one.



However note that if the original (older) image was already accessed, it might get cached in the CDN.



Here is a helpful article for further reading on how to update already existing images and how you can invalidate your resources on the CDN if need be:

    You can do so by uploading the new image in the Media Library and giving it the same public id as the old image. This should ask you if you want to overwrite the image. You can also use the upload API and specify the public id in the upload as follows (here is a Ruby example): Cloudinary::Uploader.upload(filename, options = {public_id: "insert_here"}) This will replace the old image upon upload.

I'd comment, but I don't have the rep.



Things might have changed in the UI that make Marissa's answer slightly inaccurate (at least for doing it thr. When I attempted to create a new image with the same public ID, it didn't ask me to overwrite the old one, it just gave it the public ID I submitted and appended it with "-1".



In order to create a new image at the same URL as I had it previously, I had to delete the old image, log out and log back in to cloudinary, and then create a new image with the same public ID (the public ID option appears if you click on advanced at the bottom of the upload window).



Just remember you need to delete the version from the URL ( "/vXXXXXX" where X is a number).

  • I just tested uploading an image to my account from the Media library with the same name as already existing name and it asked me whether or not I want to replace the original image. Are you using any upload preset? Cloudinary adds random string suffix if a public id already exists in the account and not number.

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease.
