Updating Genes Reunited Tree

I utilize Family Tree Maker as my main working research point and have it linked with Ancestry. I do, however, have a tree on GR which is now, unfortunately, very outdated. I would like to bring the GR tree up to date and would appreciate suggestions on how to go about doing this update on GR without typing in all of the data that I have amassed since my last GEDCOM import.

Would it be best to delete the tree already on GR and upload a new one? Would it be best to upload the newest GEDCOM as a second tree on GR (if this is even possible)?

Any and all advise will be given thorough consideration before I proceed.

Thank you, Joanne :-S

A new Gedcom uploaded to Genes will over-ride the old one.

Yes, as Andysmum has said. It works fine.

However at present there may be a temporary problem with GEDCOMs on GR (Mine is stuck on export pending, GR Srpport are aware).
