Or is there any option to replace a file ?
On Windows I would :
  1. select the book in the calibre book list;
  2. switch to my file manager;
  3. copy the pdf to the clipboard (Ctrl+C);
  4. switch back to calibre;
  5. use the Add Books->Add books to selected books from clipboard tool, which I have customised to Alt+Shift+V;
  6. confirm the "Are you sure you want to do this?" query (optional popup).

There's also the Add Books->Add files to selected books tool, which opens up File Explorer->Open file dialogue, unsure if it can be used to replace existing files - but I would anticipate it can.
