Here are common WebDAV module use cases and more modern ways to do the same thing:

• Without WebDAV you can edit files only on your local file system but you can use Git or a similar version control system to bring the changes to the remote system.
• To edit CSS files or template scripts on the file system, use light modules. You can edit any light module resources on the file system. Use your favorite text editor tool or an IDE that supports syntax highlighting and provides helper functions.
• To edit Groovy scripts on the file system, use the Groovy console. The console provides autocompletion, keyboard shortcuts and help but is not a complete replacement for a local script editor. You can also create the Groovy script locally, run tests on it locally, and then paste it into AdminCentral.

• To access DAM assets on the file system, for example with Photoshop:

  • Put assets that you need to edit often such as logos and banners into a light module, commit the light module into Git, and clone it to a local file system.

  • Put assets that you need to edit only once such as product images into the DAM.

• To upload multiple documents into the DAM:

  • Use the zip upload.

  • Create a local folder and a custom import command that ingests files from the folder.

  • Use Amazon S3 for asset storage. Mount the S3 bucket as a drive letter on your local file system.
