It has been a disturb thing to modders, "I've my OS re-installed and I can no longer update my mods", "I buy a new PC, how can I update my mod from it?"
When it comes to me, I did some attempts to figure it out. No luck then.
But new PC eventually comes(uh!) and I have to play and mod on it. I finally manage to re-sync all of my mods on Steam Workshop from new PC.

After
I'll show you how to do that, step-by-step.

I'll show you how to do that, step-by-step.
- (Recommended) Unsubscribe your mod and delete local downloaded files, sometimes I subscribe my own mod for
+1 subscribertesting if the mod is correctly packed or not and no dependencies errors. Before you re-sync your target mod, unsubscribe it and delete both great_mod_name.zip and great_mod_name.mod.mod. Leaving the original great_mod_name.mod and /great_mod_name folder only. - Launch CK2 from Steam, not double click on CK2game.exe.
- (*) Steam must be active. Make sure you are not under offline mode. Using tab+shift overlay window to have a quick look.
- Content Settings>MOD>find great_mod_name and press Manage (active or not makes
no difference) - Publish. Don't be afraid you'll have your mod overridden. It could not be even worse.
- Now CK2 should A) CTD, as usual; B) nothing happened, like a dumb; C) A new item published(!?!?)
- Quit CK2(and delete that new item if published), re-launch CK2 from Steam(step 2. 3. 4.)
- Now the button should display as "Update" with Description. Congrats.
