I have never updated a ck2 mod before, but from what I read on the wikiI should have an update button on the publish page, I don't see an update button where I think I should have one, what do I do?

From another thread that i replied to:
You just need the paste with the mod content and a .mod archive with something like this written:
name="Name to be displayed on steam"
path="mod/paste_with_mod"
picture="preview.jpg" (this is optional, you can upload images in the steam workshop page, it's easier)
}

Whoops, misread it, so you mean update?
I updated using the wiki method and had no problems, check if it's not something wrong with the .mod archive.

Haven't updated a mod on the Workshop for a while, but from what i recall..
- Need to be not (!) subscribed to your mod.
- Have your (unpacked) mod folder and *.mod file inside the "mod" folder in Documents.
- The *.mod file should include the "path" instead of "archive" line and no "*.zip" for the mod name.
- Do not have any older version of the mod in the folder (file, folder or zip).
The mod has to have the same file name as the old version, if i remember correctly.
- Don't have a descriptor file included.

Strangely I can't post links.

You need a few more posts before you can do so. A bot prevention mechanic of the forum.
Don't worry, shouldn't be that many more posts required. Ahandful or so.

A soultion for updating mods on Steam Workshop from a new/different PC
It has been a disturb thing to modders, "I've my OS re-installed and I can no longer update my mods", "I buy a new PC, how can I update my mod from it?" When it comes to me, I did some attempts to figure it out. No luck then. But new PC...

I checked out the page it is certainly my problem but sadly although I could publish a new version and update that one, if I deleted it on the steam workshop then I could not update (to the original mod or the new deleted one) anymore. I was wondering if anyone had the technical knowledge to know where perhaps the steam links are stored in files to the uploaded mods so perhaps I could swap it out to link to my original steam upload?

Yeah so to clarify my problem I can publish and update a (new) mod but somehow the game has unlinked the mod files from its memory of the steam workshop item so I can no longer update that specific steam workshop mod.
You deleted the mod on the Workshop and then intended to update it ???
How do you expect to update something that doesn't exist anymore ?
You are not supposed to delete the mod on the Workshop, only to unsubscribe, assuming you have your own mod subscribed.
You are supposed to delete the local copy of it in the 'mod' folder in Documents.
Then do the udpate as with the first upload.
Move the unpacked variant of it in there with the mod file including a 'path' line instead of 'archive'.
I didn't respond to the rest of your post and the next one, as i didn't understand that.
Didn't make sense to me, sorry.
Anyway, good luck.

No you do not understand. Read the guide that the other guy referred to, I could no longer update my mod for some reason so I published a new one according to the linked guide, the guide then said to delete the new version and I should be able to update the original one, this hasn't worked. Now do you understand my trouble?
I wrote a reponse but i suppose we had a misunderstanding and Aerotinge can likely answer your questions
in a better way, so ill ping him.
@Aerotinge to the rescue please.
