Replace image, keep image ref url

Ou company has different versions of the company logo. Currently our staff put the image ref url in their email signatures so the logo will appear in their signature.

We would like to be able to change and update that image without changing the image ref url so that when we want the "holiday logo" to appear (for instance), the staff need not go into their signature and change the image ref.... we simply change the image itself in cloudinary.

Is this possible?

    Hi there, 

    The vxxxxxxx that you mention is a timestamp of when the asset was uploaded. That's why it will be different even if you overwrite an asset by keeping the same public id. However, this version / timestamp component does not need to be in the URL. You can omit it and the URL will work just fine. 
    You can refer to this article for more information on asset versions https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/202520912-What-are-image-versions- 

    I hope this helps. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

    Kind Regards, 

    Tia
