History Center Update (not download)

Hi there! How can I update my 2018 historical data, after I have downloaded from Tickstory 2016 and 2017 data (for all timeframes). Downloading 2018 from Tickstory overwrites 2016 and 2017 data. Or is there a way to download without overwriting? Thank you in advance

Elementary Inquiry on Codes
