Rebuilding

Rebuilding is done when changes to a template have been made, and pages need to have those changes applied to them.  A web developer will upload those changed templates to the site, and then choose one of the rebuild options to have those changes reflected.  

Note: This can be very dangerous to the site.  Only qualified people should be given the ability to rebuild sites.

Rebuild Page

This allows you to only rebuild one page of a site from the updated template.  This is useful if you have made a change to a template, and want to preview that change on a test page before applying it site wide.  This is most commonly used when testing changes.

Rebuild Template

Using this option will only rebuild pages that are based off of the template you are currently viewing.  So if you have an About Us template, with 5 pages using that template, you choose this option to rebuild all 5 pages at once based on the revised template.  It will rebuild whatever template you are viewing at the time (be on the right page first). DO NOT do this operation without testing your template changes first using rebuild page on a test page.

Rebuild Site

This will rebuild all pages of the site at once.  Useful when you have fully tested the templates modified, and are ready to apply the changes.  This can be very time and processor consuming if you have a large number of pages.  Should you have timeout errors, try doing one template at a time.  DO NOT do this operation without testing your template changes first using rebuild page on a test page.
