When working on a new version of templates that have not yet been uploaded to the content repository, the templates location for this view repository can be overwritten in a local CAE configuration using a customizer:
<customize:replace id="overrideTemplateLocation" bean="templateLocations"> <map> <!-- the key is the logical name of the view repository --> <entry key="customViewRepository" value="file:///C:/path/to/template-module/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/templates"/> </map> </customize:replace>
