I have to do some minor modifications on a website built with Umbraco and I’d like to know if it’s safe to manually edit cshtml files?
I just need to edit html code & some variable’s content.
In case of problem, is putting back the previous version of the cshtml file on the server enough or does it need other actions?
I’m a php dev I’m not familiar with .net at all. Thanks in advance for your answers.
The answer is yes, you can edit the cshtml files directly and outside of the Umbraco backend using a text editor of your choice. In fact, this is my preferred method. I typically edit cshtml files within Visual Studio so I can get the benefit of syntax highlighting and some auto-completion.
