Making Template Changes

Once you have deployed a publication on your development application server, you can work directly on the files in the application server's exploded version of the publication. This is the most effective method of development, since any changes you make to the templates are immediately visible in the application - no deployment step is necessary. You can use this method as long as all you are doing is making changes to existing templates.

If for some reason you cannot work directly on the application server, or if you need to copy your changes to another server (a test server, for example), then you will need to periodically redeploy your application as described in Deployment.
