Tip: Due to the complexity of some site building software, we strongly recommend that you do not attempt to update existing web pages with a tool other than the one you used to create them. Using a tool such as File Manager with third-party software may not only prevent some of your changes from appearing but also damage your existing files.
If you are using an offline site building tool such as Dreamweaver to build your website, changes you make to your pages in File Manager may not be reflected when you open your software to review your work.
Tools that can be used offline work with files stored on your computer and then when you publish your website, you add to or replace the files on our servers with the latest version of your local files. Each time you publish, you synchronize the files on your computer with the files on our servers.
The File Manager displays your website files as they appear on our servers. If you make changes to your files using File Manager, the changes will be reflected only in File Manager. For this reason, when you reopen your site building tool to work with your files, you will not see the changes you made in File Manager. When you republish your site, your local website files will overwrite any changes you made to your files in File Manager. If you are going to continue to edit your website files in File Manager along with an offline tool, we recommend that you remember to import the latest version of your site from our servers.
