I am working on designing a character sheet, but I’m running into an issue that’s probably due to my own stupidity. I’ll save the changes on the settings page but then these changes do not show up in the actual game unless I exit out and relaunch the game. Is that to be expected? I’d love to use the Preview pane, but a lot of functionality does not work unless you test it within an actual game. Any suggestions?
If youre tweaking css, you can see most of those changes live, by entering in the browser console (usually F12, or right-click and Inspect in console, then select the Elements tab).
This does mean you have to write code twice - once in the elements tab, and again in the sheet code to make it permanent. But it lets you test out changes to the appearance without having to reload.
Changes to the html / sheet workers do need a full refresh unfortunately.

To underscore what the others are saying...you don't need to exit the game and re-launch it...just refresh the browser with the game. Working with two tabs makes it easier (update code in one tab and have game in the second tab, you'd just need to refresh the second tab).

Ohh! I think I see the problem. I don't think I was refreshing the game window. Thanks for the help!
It's still a tiresome chore, but is a lot quicker than having to exit and launch again.
The new feature being tested right now on the Dev server is even better, so much better. Check it out if you're a pro subscriber.
