 * I love W3 Total Cache. This brilliant plugin works well with Amazon S3 and managed
   to cut 2s off the load time on my site (on average).
 * The only stumbling block I have come across is with my workflow for pushing design
   changes.
 * Here is my process for making incremental enhancements to my design:
 * 1. I develop the code on my local machine.
 * 2. I push the code to the SVN server (hosted with Beanstalk).
 * 3. I publish the changes on the Staging Server (a bleeding edge vanilla WP installation)
   on a network server.
 * 4. After intensive testing, the code branch is pushed to the Live Server (which
   is running WP 3.0.1 and W3 Total Cache)
 * The problem lies in the fact that the CDN files are not updated, hence what I
   get a messy output on the Live site.
 * Is there to a way for W3 Total Cache to detect changes on the template files,
   upload the changes to the Cloud and refresh the cache? I really wish that could
   be done with the click of a button.
 * I have not come across anything helpful so far, thus I’m here to ask for advice.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Which files specifically aren’t uploaded? Are you using auto upload?

 * The CSS and JS files as well as the updated theme files.
 * Yes, auto upload is enabled.

 * Are you using browser caching? Did you try to manually export your theme or minify
   files to be sure the update was uploaded?
