How to edit my model description on Printables.com?

I have searched but not found the answer.

All I need to do is to edit the name of the model I uploaded to better describe it. However, no matter how I try to do that, the software insists that I upload the model files again. Surely there has to be a way around this?

On the right hand side next to the title of your model there are three dots. When you click there, a menu appears with the option "Edit".

Thanks Walter but I tried that.  It lets me make edits to the title or to the description of the model, but then when I select "publish", it says I have to upload a model file.  Since the model file has not changed I should not have to find it and upload it again.

RE:

I tried the same on one of my models, I changed the title, clicked on "publish now", the changed title appeared, and then I changed it back which also worked. I did not have to upload anything. I did change something in every one of the text fields and that worked also without requiring additional uploads. The model I used to test this has two .3mf files, as well as one .f3d and one .step file.
Perhaps this is just another quirk of the forum software. Sometimes when I add a make I can add stars, sometimes I cannot, don't know why.

Thank you so much for your detailed responses Walter.

I tried many things and finally had success.  Here is what worked for me:

There are a series of check circles and I had to check the one that said "Model Origin - I made it" and the text below that said "I am uploading a new model". Once I selected that check circle, it allowed me to publish my changes but did not ask for me to actually upload a new model. Weird, but it works.
