No, there's no way that's obvious to the author when a revised file is uploaded. You do have the option of checking a box that says, "new edition," but who knows what that means? Is it a new edition if you've corrected two typos? Is it a new edition if you fixed formatting problems? Is it a new edition if you've rewritten the text? There's no clear way to distinguish these cases, and there's no indication at all of how to trigger an email to buyers to tell them of an updated version.
It's a significant weakness in an otherwise well-designed publishing platform.
