If a client has a WP site made with sass, how do i edit it live if he only wants small changes? is there a way to edit live, because they are small things but i want to learn the best way to tackle this issue if it presents in the future.

I would just copy the entire script ftp and import the sql database. Then run it on xampp. Then run sass watch on the local to tweak the styles.

7,378 PointsThank you for your input, i think i would do that in most cases, but for example, for a small changes, like change the color of the menu and font is there a sass watch on live servers?
Thanks again

23,118 PointsI totally agree with jason chan, run the site on a local server, and then tweak the styles.
If you edit live the small changes may have an impact on the site that you did not anticipate. Better to have it on a local server then commit the changes after you are satisfied with the change.
