Panel discussion/Bios and contact info statistical practice panel 2022.docx'

Since the file names are the same, why it will have such error?

It seems that the issue occurs when canvas_grab tries to archive old version of the file.

Maybe the rename semantics of Windows is different from Linux. On *nix systems, rename will overwrite the target file.

You may delete the _canvas_grab_archive folder and try again.

Would you mind to solve this bug in the next version? Thank you.

Btw, really appreciate your work.

Using replace() instead of rename() may help. See https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/4510.
