Hello, i have a .jl in which i have created a module.

module name  
end  
import Main.name  
or using Main.

in the same file of the module created im importing/using them, but modifying the module and then reloading with using name does not work i get

WARNING: using Name in module Main conflicts with an existing identifier.  
or  
WARNING: replacing module Name.  
but it does not replace it anyway.

i have tried using: using Revise but it does not change anything.

If Revise isn’t working you might have to provide more detail, because it does indeed work for cases like this. You don’t have to do anything manually to reload the module. Make sure you try the demos in the documentation exactly, once you’ve worked through them it should be pretty clear how it works.
