hello my friends I'm editing a function file red.js button deploy I saw that it has this function but when doing the build it returns to the original state someone has already made this modification.

packages/node\_modules/@node-red/editor-client/public/red/red.js

I'm editing the same in this place, but when I build it, it comes back to the original file.

/\*\*  
\* options:  
\* type: "default" - Button with drop-down options - no further customisation available  
\* type: "simple" - Button without dropdown. Customisations:  
\* label: the text to display - default: "Deploy"  
\* icon : the icon to use. Null removes the icon. default: "red/images/deploy-full-o.svg"  
\*/  
function init(options) {  
options = options || {};  
var type = options.type || "default";

Hi @jhonnsec  
Welcome to this forum!

`packages/node_modules/@node-red/editor-client/public/red/red.js` **is** the file created when building the Node-RED system. Thus it's the wrong place to do any modifications.

The source of the snipplet you're looking for is located in `packages/node_modules/@node-red/editor-client/src/js/ui/deploy.js`. If you modify this file, your changes will end up in `.../red/red.js`.
