Separate "saving" and "applying changes"

[jeremyfa]

Each save triggers docpad update. This can be a problem when there are many documents as each save may be very slow or even fail.

It would be nice if saving the content on admin side didn't affect the website, unless we press an "apply changes" or "deploy" button.

That would require to separate admin data model and actual generated document files. This would also keep document files "clean" as the admin data is not merged with it.

I'm not sure we mentioned is the same problem. In my docpad-minicms where there happens to freeze after _saving items_.

The solution is to reload button at the top, you need to reload all data after you save items every time.

My suggestion is the case, I hope to help others.
