Why are my changes not showing up on the site?

One of the most non-obvious quirks of this platform is the interaction between the data repo and the site repo. The site repo, when it gets "built", consults the data repo. So, before the site repo can show any change, the data repo needs to be changed first.

But the catch is, the site repo does not automatically get built when the data repo gets built. In other words, making a change to the data repo, alone, will not produce any change to the site repo. This is the reason for the nightly build of the site repo.

You should see the change after the next nightly build of the site repo. Or, you could also "trigger" a build by making any commit to the site repo.

If you're not sure of the timing, you could look at the CircleCI dashboard and compare the times of the builds.
