Hi Lucy, good question. I could have been more clear on that point. Changes to the resource graphs require a reinstallation of your custom Arches app. So, the steps I would recommend are 1. Install arches and arches-HIP 2. Create a new app as directed in the documentation 3. Fully install this app (after elasticsearch is setup, etc.) with: python manage.py packages -o install 4. Run the development server to make sure the app is working. It will be the default arches-HIP app. 5. Now, spend time modifying the resource graphs and authority files as much as you need. 6. Whenever you feel ready, run the install command shown above again. The previous database will be deleted and one that uses the new resource graph schema will replace it. This is what I meant by "database reinstallation", but I could have chosen better wording so I'll see what I can do to correct that. 7. When you have the new schema set, you can begin modifying the forms and reports to support the new nodes. Changing these templates does not require a reinstallation though--you can do it anytime.
Hope that answers your question! Let me know if you need anymore clarification.
