How to overwrite existing file with same name?

Hi all -

I've created this flow which does the following:

1) When a PowerPoint slide in a SharePoint folder is created or modified (trigger)

2) Move file to folder in OneDrive

3) Once in OneDrive, use Convert file from PPT to JPG

4) Save in a seperate SharePoint folder (which connects to a Power BI report of mine)

Everything worked fine - until I tried editing a slide again, which gave me this error: "A file with the name Shared Documents/xyz/Internal Dashboard/Anayltics Update (JPG)/xyz.jpg already exists."

How do I make it overwrite with the same name as an update?

Hi @Anonymous

You can got into the settings of the create file action for SharePoint via the ellipses ... and turn off chunking.

Brilliant solution, so glad @DamoBird365 knew this and could provide the answer.. Not sure why they decided to call this "chunking" as its not very intuitive compared to "avoid file name overwrite", even if we knew where to look in settings. Thanks again!
