Webapp Developer Edition best practice for editing after deploy?

[RobertLackage]

I have deployed my Webapp Dev Edition to the server and I have done some editing to the files (css & js) while on the server. Now I want to take it off the server and update the enhanced search widget. What would be the best way to edit an app after it has been deployed?

Are you just trying to update the eSearch widget that is used in your app to a newer version? If so then just overwrite the eSearch folder with the newer version. The configuration you did for the widget will not be affected because the json config files are stored in the apps configs folder and not in the widgets folder.
