AllowedContentTemplates

uSkinned Site Builder has moved Content Templates to its own section within the Umbraco CMS. Only Document Types in this list can be added to the 'Templates' section. 

This section is normally found within the 'Settings' section of Umbraco. The new 'Templates' section means you can give normal editors access to this without exposing the 'Settings' section.

"uSkinned": {
    "AllowedContentTemplates": "USNPage,USNListPage,USNListingFilterPage,USNBlogPost,USNBlogCategoryPage,USNProductPage,USNStyle",
  }

GenerateDesignFilesOnStartup

When you click "Save and Publish" on any of your Design nodes, a new CSS stylesheet file (and a JavaScript file, if custom JavaScript has been added) will be created on your web server's file system.

~/wwwroot/uSkinned/css/generated/
~/wwwroot/uSkinned/scripts/generated/

Set this setting to true to generate these files on startup.

"uSkinned": {
    "GenerateDesignFilesOnStartup": "false",
  }
