 ## Making Changes and Consuming Updated Packages
 
 You've now successfully tested your runtime build. However, more likely than not, you will be making further changes that you'll want to test. The issue here is you can't simply build the repo again and have it work. This is because of the _NuGet Cache_ mentioned earlier. Since the version number doesn't change locally, NuGet doesn't realize changes have been made and thus uses its cached version. To get around this, we have to get rid of such cache. That's why we set a local one using the `globalPackagesFolder` in the `nuget.config` file we created.
