After you have made the necessary changes to your button spreadsheet, see Touchscreen Button Spreadsheet Programming for tips, you will need to upload the spreadsheet into AMS for the registers to recognize the updated button layout.

Save the spreadsheet.

Save spreadsheet, but leave it open

After saving your updated spreadsheet (File/Save or Control-S), keep it open. It will be easier, more efficient, and faster to test your changes and make modifications iteratively than opening and closing your spreadsheet. In the past, the spreadsheet did need to be closed for it to be uploaded. That's been changed. Now, you can just leave it open. Just be sure to save it before uploading.
