Effects of Modifying a Type Tree
When you modify a type tree or any type definitions in that type tree, the next
time you open a map that uses that type tree, the map is updated. If the map is
currently open when you make changes to the type tree, a prompt appears asking
if you want to update the map.
Note Even if you saved the type tree, but did not make changes to the tree, you are
still prompted to update the map.
Changing a Type that is Used for a Card
If you delete, move, or rename a type, and that type is used as the type of a card,
the type will appear as having no components. Viewing the Properties of the type
shows that the type is an Invalid type.
Rebuilding a Map that has Changed
After you have changed a map or updated it because you changed a type tree
used in it, build and save the map before running it again.
