Thanks! I had searched the User Guide, but couldn't find that.

That does work, but as I should have guessed, there's no way I could find to make it edit exported files, rather than the data in Sigil.

That means I can't use Git for version control on the individual files and for backing up the revision history to GitHub. It also means there's no easy way to use SCSS, and no way to run the utility programs I've created for modifying the files.

Some CMS systems I've worked with have the option to store files on disk or in their local data storage. I know that feature would be really helpful to me, but I can understand if you don't think enough people would use it to make it worth adding.
