📋 Summary

Usually, when developing and debugging an addin with RevitAPI, user has to close & re-open Revit each time he/she modifies the addin code and wants to re-compile. But with Add-In Manager, user can modify and run the addin directly without closing & re-opening Revit again and again. With current technology, you can use Hot Reload to speed it up.But try this project it will be faster with any Addin.
