How are you modifying the files? Like this, or with some extral program? > [@Editing or Creating a Perspective View via Script](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/editing-or-creating-a-perspective-view-via-script/50511): > > In case this helps anyone, here’s how you can modify (or create) a Perspective View (or any non-binary resource really) via script. You can call this from any gateway scope, including from a Perspective Button action. Note: the gateway only checks for file updates to resources every 5mins, so you won’t see changes in your client until then, but they will come through automatically. projectName = '' # e.g. 'AwesomeProject' viewPath = '' # e.g. 'Testing/View to Modify' from com.inductiveautomat… Its definlty not about the thumbnail. but the gateway/designer do take some time to update these files if changed. Try restarting the gateway and designer to see if the changes went through. If a restart doesnt help than your file is maybe badly constructed, see if there are any logs --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/import-view-json-with-generated-objects/92522)._
