CSS via FTP
Hey,
I am curious if it is possible to do styling via ftp somehow and not just via the console (upload a backup with new css stylesheet)? I did all the configuration via console and now I am afraid styling will break if something is changed in the generel settings (css selectors for example) which I am only ovrwriting right now.
Happy for any advice! Thanks!

It was available on on-prem servers, but not with cloud.
There was a “customizationApi” endpoint foreseen a couple of years ago, but it seems to have been abandoned. There are some dirty workarounds that I don’t recommend.
The official way to do it is to download a customization backup, unzip, replace the files, rezip, reupload, restart the whole environment. Yes it’s a pain and a shame, which is why it is often recommended not to fiddle with CSS to begin with.

Overall, I would recommend against this kind of non-official customization, it can be more of a hassle and issues than it’s worth. Maybe a coaching session might give more info.
