You can just swap it out. You'll get a notice when they download it. At that point, it's probably too late.

I have a script that's "awaiting assignment." To my chagrin, I noticed a couple typos in the pdf. Nothing major, but I was wondering if I could fix them and upload a new version, or if I have to wait until it's been reviewed.

While you're here, Franklin, what happened with the Warner Bros Blind deal? I thought it was going to be awarded bi-annually but I haven't seen the announcement.

It's easy enough to work out the general window given the list typically comes out mid-December.
It's no secret however when the list comes out: last working Monday of the film industry year. This year, the morning of December 15.

That said, here are two recent very high profile successes:

Re: New Black List Thread - Franklin Leonard answers your questions
Just wanted to share my most recent Black List experience.
I have a pilot at a major production house and things are looking really good so far. About a month or so before it landed there I put it on the BL for evaluation and due to the demand on their readers, just got it back today.
Long story short, the evaluation was extremely professional and on point. The notes I was given almost mirrored the notes the prodco gave me (they're waiting for the rewrite now).
It was definitely easier to take the good because the bad was so true (yes, you read that right. I'm only interested in criticism!). Again, the positive mirrored the prodco's (ie who they think will buy it, comps, etc). Having the show described by this person was extremely helpful -- luckily the description was on point -- something I struggled with myself.
I actually showed it to the execs I'm working with and I could tell they were pleased to have their own opinions reinforced by an obviously intelligent reader. They were impressed by the evaluation as well.
Just wanted to share that.
