Briefly .... just do "Share stack" again on the same stack.

In detail: When you first upload a stack (using Share stack), a 
fingerprint is added to your stack. You should then save the stack, so 
that fingerprint is saved. Then any time you "Share stack" and it 
already has a fingerprint in it, that will overwrite the previous version.

There was some discussion recently about the corollary to this - if you 
make a copy of a stack that has already been shared, even if you then 
change the stack name and file name, sharing this new stack will 
overwrite the earlier one.  So take care to either not make copies of 
stacks that have been shared, or to go in and delete the fingerprint 
before uploading the new one.

You can do that in the IDE, if you select "View / Revolution UI elements 
in lists", then inspect the stack, look at custom properties, select the 
customproperty set "cRevonline" and then delete "fingerprint"
