AspDotNetStorefront 10.0.0 - 10.0.23 introduces two new .config files: AppSettings.config and ConnectionStrings.config. Both files exist in the root of your web folder alongside the web.config file.
The web.config file references AppSettings.config and ConnectionStrings.config as 'include files' as the following illustrates:
Note: Your site restarts when the web.config file is modified or
'touched,' but does not restart when AppSettings or ConnectionStrings
files are modfied or 'touched.'
