Every time I add a new page to my site, after export RW7 (Version 7.2.2) starts to upload via FTP ALL files to my server. In older versions, RW only uploaded the new files. As I have a fairly large site and a very slow broadband connection, this is getting a bit frustrating. Is there a way of reverting to the former system where - although a full export takes place - only amended and/or new files are uploaded? (I have managed a “work around” where I mark all pages as “unchanged” and only mark the new or amended pages as “changed” meaning that only those pages are exported/uploaded but I fear this may cause future problems…). ---

If you add a new page then all files are changed because the navigational structure has changed. RW should publish changes to all files impacted: which is all files. However, this should still be much less than republishing all content (which uploads everything on every page). ---

Thanks for your reply. I understand the basic concept but this appears to be a relatively new development. In the past, although all files have been exported prior to publishing, only new content has been uploaded. Now ALL content is being uploaded every time… ---

Do you literally mean the result is the same as if you chose Re-Publish All Files? If so, that’s bad. It’s a quirk, or unique setup in your situation, or a bug. If that’s the case why not revert back downwards to an earlier version: > **[404 | We are Realmac Software](https://kb.realmacsoftware.com/404/)** > > Realmac Software is an award winning, inependent software company. This is our 404 page. ---

Yes - that’s exactly what’s happening. Thanks for the tip - although I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that there might be a less dramatic solution! 🙂 ---

Ugh. Sorry about this bug for you. But it should not be a very traumatic transition to go from 7.2.2 back to 7.2.1. (Unless, of course, one of the bugs fixed in that last upgrade made a big difference for you.) ---

FWIW, Same issue here. So he’s not the Lone Ranger. My site is pretty tiny as I gutted it & am experimenting, so its not a big deal for me at the moment. And backups, though set for Once-A-Week, are uploaded every time. Cancelling them takes nearly as long as accepting them. ---

So I added a Facebook button to all my pages, why does RW7 have to upload all the mp3 files etc etc, when only page code was changed, no content- No changes to navigation - very odd, and annoying when out and about on a laptop cafe link…surely RW should be smart enough by now?
