Hello,

Live Layout Editing lets you preview your app on a WiFi-connected Android or Apple iOS device, or (for Standard HTML5 projects) in a desktop browser window. Changes appear in real-time as you make edits using the built-in Intel XDK editor (based on Brackets*). This feature is most useful for making layout adjustments in HTML and CSS - it is not recommended for testing JavaScript based frameworks.

Hello,

• 1.Connect with ftp.
• 2. Download the file
• 3.Edit the file on your computer with notepad or another code editor.
• 4.Re-upload the file to the server and overwrite the existing file.
• 5.The changes should reflect now on your live site.

Hi!, this process is very hard and bored, the XDK IDE don't have a ftp function as sublime text? It can gestionate the files on a remote server and live edit, for not have to download files, some as this:

You can use Sublime or other editors with the XDK, you are not limited to using the editor built into the XDK. In fact, there is a Sublime plugin for the XDK that can be used, as well: https://github.com/gomobile/sublime-xdk-package

BTW -- that Sublime plugin is being deprecated and will disappear in the near future. However, you can still use Sublime (or Brackets or your favorite code editor) to open your project source files and work on them, while the XDK is open to your project. The built-in XDK editor (Brackets) will automatically detect any changes to your files if you are using an external editor.
