I experimented with source changes a little. Say you make a change in
the source and then go back to the Builder and change a label or add
another control. The Builder is pretty intelligent about only changing
what it needs to and not losing your source changes. However, I did
notice that changing control names is a bit more destructive. So it's a
good idea to have your control names picked before editing sections
related to those controls.
I haven't experimented with repeats. I imagine you won't see your
controls within the repeat in the builder but will see them when you
render the xform.
A guide on best practices for editing xforms source while still using
the builder would be nice. I haven't seen any documentation on how the
Builder does xform updates and what dangers there are in editing the
source and then using the Builder again.
