 The CLI will create or reuse the [release](/docs/error-tracking/releases) for the detected or supplied release name and version. The CLI will try to detect release name and version information, but you can set them explicitly with `--release-name` and `--release-version`. We recommend setting the release name, and letting the CLI detect the version, if your project is continuously deployed (the version will be the git commit hash at build time).
 
 > **💡 Tip:** You can use `--delete-after` option to clean up sourcemaps after uploading them.

+By default, if a symbol set with the same chunk ID already exists on the server with different content, the CLI silently skips the re-upload. This prevents accidental overwrites of production symbol sets.

+### Symbol re-uploads are silently skipped
+
+By default, the CLI silently skips re-uploads when a symbol set with the same UUID already exists on the server with different content. This prevents accidental overwrites of production symbol sets from a local development machine.
+
+To overwrite an existing symbol set, pass the `--force` flag:
+
+```bash
+posthog-cli dsym upload --directory ./path/to/dsyms --force

+
+You don't need `--force` when using `POSTHOG_INCLUDE_SOURCE=1` – source-inclusive uploads automatically overwrite existing source-less uploads.
