-To remove or rename a party, you can simply remove or rename the jar file. 
+To change a profile or add a new party,
 
+* Make sure the profiles server has been run (apache will unzip the war file)
+* Locate the unzipped partiesserver folder inside your tomcat webapps directory
+* locate the partiesrepo directory inside that folder. This folder contains all current parties
+* Copy your new version of a party.jar over an existing one. Or copy a new party.jar into this folder. Make sure that you have the jar file with all dependencies.
+* The parties should now show up in the "list of party files" on the server webpage. Make sure you force refresh the page as some browsers show only old cached data.
+* If the file is visible in that list, but does not show up in list of "currently runnable parties" then the jar does not contain a valid party. Check the apache tomcat logs to see why the jar has been rejected.
