Ah. OK. You might need to do an "update" in the CMS. The CMS is looking at a working copy of the website's source files. If someone changes something directly via an SVN checkin, the CMS does not see that change until you do an update. This can be done via the CMS web UI at the level of a file or directory. -Rob > >> >> > Is it correct to assume that if I want to use mdtext I can forget CMS and >> > do it in SVN directly ??? >> > >> >> The CMS is a shortcut to making simple changes to HTML or Mdtext or >> any other text-based files on the website.
