Specifying a Project Mode

See Also

You can switch between local and master modes for your project. Local mode is recommended because it allows you to work in "isolation" from the master server. Local mode ensures that your local copies of the files are not affected by updates made to the master Web application by other developers. This mode also keeps your changes from affecting others using the master Web application.

To specify local mode for your project

1. In the Project Explorer, select the project you want in local mode.
   
   
2. From the Project menu, choose Web Project and then choose Working Mode.
   
   
3. From the submenu, choose Local.

If you work alone and do not use the master server as your production server, you can work directly in master mode without impacting others using the application.

To switch to master mode

1. In the Project Explorer, select the project you want to switch to master mode.
   
   
2. From the Project menu, choose Web Project and then choose Working Mode.
   
   
3. From the submenu, choose Master.
