    Ashwath_Bala_S thanks for building!

    I will leverage your question to improve the documentation accordingly, so anything you can share about what was clear/less clear would be amazing. 

    In Dev mode: Fabric Developer Mode MUST be enabled in your workspace settings to test custom workloads. An important concept to is that when you run the DevGateway the package is registered to Fabric backend and when you run your client Fabric loads additional manifests files (such as product.json) are being loaded to the client session - this allows complete e2e testing from your local environment. 

    So everytime you make a change to the manifests files you should point re-build the nuget and than run the devgateway pointing it to: MANIFEST_PACKAGE_FILE_PATH.
