How can I update a Gedcom?

How can I update a Gedcom?

Recently, an FTDNA match in which I am in contact with updated his gedcom because he had found his birth parents. I haven't figured out a way to delete his old gedcom and add the new one without deleting him entirely and re-adding him. I suppose I can do that when I update my matches periodically, but I'll have to re-add notes and such if I do, and I'd rather not have to do that.

Any ideas?

In the window that opens when you click on a match there's a button labeled "Gedcom Compare". It's on the upper right side and the text will be in a bright green font once you've imported a gedcom for that person. If you hover over that button the text that pops up says "Ctrl click to change gedcom".

I haven't had occasion to try it myself but that should do the trick.
