Once a file has been selected in the field, that file can be replaced by clicking the <img style="margin-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: middle; display:inline-block;" src="../../_images/icon_edit.png" alt="edit icon"> icon. The field selection can be cleared by clicking <img style="margin-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: middle; display:inline-block;" src="../../_images/icon_remove.png" alt="remove icon"> icon (this will not remove the file from the system). You can also change the file metadata (such as the title or description) by clicking the <img style="margin-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: middle; display:inline-block;" src="../../_images/icon_edit_meta.png" alt="settings icon"> icon - please note that file's metadata will be changed globally throughout the system.
