Designing Templates

I'm on a pc. I'm designing a template in Backlight. I'm using the standard template and it's set to default. My workflow is... I make a change, click save, then refresh on my site and nothing happens. I reviewed matt's You Tube video and he mentioned the auto-refresh button. I don't have the auto refresh button. I'm in Backlight as the administrator. My goal is to quickly see what changes I've made. Ideas?

Re: Designing Templates

A link would help.

Unless you've somehow broken the page -- i.e. open an HTML element in your copy without later closing it -- then the auto-refresh button should be there on the page when you're logged in as admin.

I'm in Backlight as admin. I've developed a work around that works. the work around is:  I make a change in designer, save it,  click on my website, hit control F5 and the changes appear. I don't see a refresh button on the bottom of my page. But I do see a refresh button in the upper left corner. But when I click on it, it doesn't refresh. I can only get it to change when I hit control F5. I works but it time consuming and clumsy.

Re: Designing Templates

when you're logged in to Backlight, you should see the refresh button in the footer of your page
