If you can, make all changes to the object in Advanced Product Designer. When you regenerate the product, you can accept the regenerated version of the object, and do not need to merge it with the older version. If that is not possible, you can make changes in an extension to the object. You have to add the extension manually in the file system. Although you cannot add the extension in Studio, you can edit it in Studio after creating it.

Entities for clauses are in the extensions/entity directory under PolicyCenter_installation/modules/configuration/config. Clause types are coverages, conditions, and exclusions.

Make all changes to display strings in Advanced Product Designer so that there is no need to merge changes when you regenerate.

In Studio, if you add a display name that is not generated, the display name remains intact after regenerating the product.

Typelists in the extensions/typelist directory under PolicyCenter_installation/modules/configuration/config.

Before regenerating the product, you will receive a warning about modified files that will be overwritten if you proceed.

For each typelist, maintain it either in a particular Advanced Product Designer product or in Studio. Do not modify the typelist in more than one place.

Subdirectories for PCF files are in the web/pcf/line, xxx and yyy directories. Paths are relative to PolicyCenter_installation/modules/configuration/config.

PCF files that you add are not overwritten when you regenerate the product.

When you generate the product, Advanced Product Designer creates a base class and an implementation class in the PolicyCenter_installation/modules/configuration/gsrc directory. The base class is created in the gw.lob package and has the suffix Base. The implementation class is created in the package defined by the APDProductLinesGosuPackage script parameter. The default is ext.lob.

To avoid triggering warnings when you regenerate the product, make your changes in the implementation class, and do not modify the base class. You will receive warnings for changes to base classes, but no warnings for changes to implementation classes. When you regenerate, the implementation class is not affected; it is only generated if it does not exist.

For enhancement classes, YYYRiskEnhancement.gs and YYYExposureEnhancement.gs, make your changes directly in the enhancement and merge changes.
