No, this person doesn’t understand how Freeway works. This method
would work just fine with Dreamweaver, which actually reads and writes
the HTML files. But Freeway generates the html files in a one-way
process, and only reads (and updates) its own proprietary file format
with the results of those changes. Think of the Freeway document as
the recipe for making the site. The actual HTML files themselves are
an output-only artifact, like printed pages are to a word-processing
application’s document.
If they document for you exactly what changes they made, you could
open up your latest Freeway document and duplicate those changes in
the Freeway interface. But the next time you upload from Freeway, any
changes you haven’t duplicated in this manner will be overwritten.
