The Supersede utility is a console application that can be used to archive superseded files.

How does the utility know which files to supersede?

Files are matched to configurable rules using regular expressions.

What happens to superseded files?

The utility can be configured to move superseded files to another location or simply delete them.

What if I want to copy files to another location first?

The utility can also be configured to copy files to another location and then archive superseded files from there.

This is useful when you wish to maintain a current folder that is different from the file’s original location. For example, a file may initially be exported to 📁Exports\2022-02-03 and you want to maintain a set of current files in 📁Exports\Current, archiving superseded files from there.
