There’s a good article on the 4D Blog describing pros and cons of binary and Project Mode:
https://blog.4d.com/binary-database-vs-project-database/ <https://blog.4d.com/binary-database-vs-project-database/> At the bottom of the post in the “Con” section it mentions: Development with distributed source code Each developer codes alone on their copy of the code. Need for organization and rules to facilitate the sharing of work. Access to the code from a client is read-only Able to test and debug in Client/Server, but it is not [possible to] modify the deployed code on the server. You must reopen the database with 4D Developer, make the modification, and restart the server.
