# What management actions can I take on uploaded files in SMSGatewayCenter, and are there any limitations to these actions?

**SMSGatewayCenter**’s *Manage Uploaded Files* section provides several options to manage files uploaded for **[bulk SMS campaigns](https://www.smsgatewaycenter.com/bulk-sms/)**, but the available actions may depend on your account setup. Here’s what you can do and any potential limitations:

**Available Actions**:

- **Download Files**:
  - Use the *Download* link in the *Manage Uploaded Files* table to retrieve the original uploaded file (e.g., “campaign_may2025.csv”).
  - Useful for reviewing the file or keeping a backup.
- **Edit**:
  - Use the *Action* column to stop the campaign if feature is enabled for your account.
  - Note: Editing may be limited to metadata and not the file content itself, depending on your account permissions.

**Potential Limitations**:

- **Action Availability**: The specific actions (e.g., edit, delete) may vary depending on your account type, role, or the system’s implementation. For example, some accounts may not allow editing after a file has been processed.
- **Processed Files**: If a file has already been processed for an SMS campaign, you may not be able to edit or delete it to maintain campaign integrity.
- **Permissions**: Certain actions may be restricted based on user permissions (e.g., only admins can delete files).

**Best Practices**:

- Download a copy of the file before performing actions like deletion.
- Check with your account administrator if you don’t see expected actions in the *Action* column.

**SMSGatewayCenter**’s management tools help you stay in control of your uploaded files, ensuring efficient **[bulk SMS campaigns](https://www.smsgatewaycenter.com)**. For further assistance, contact our support team.
