Hi, thx for updating.

What does clean and build do (opposed to build)?

The “Build” option will only copy over files that have been modified. (will make the build faster for large projects)

“Clean and Build” will delete the folder first and then copy all the files over. 

The “Clean and Build” should be used when building for distribution just to make sure that all the files are in-sync.

Thanks Ingemar. Could not have said it any better. For the most part you will not need clean and build but it is just an added peace of mind.
