stash can pick up a file as long as either the filename to changes or the file content changes but not both at the same times so couple of options

  1. rename the new file the exact same name as the old file and have stash scan it it will pick it up as a update of the old file you then rename it again to the correct file extension as they are likely different and scan one more time

  2. scan the new file and merge it into the existing entry in stash this is fairly straightforward but you will likely need to regenerate covers or previews as they are associated with the file oshash
