# Workflow Tips

1. Before editing, assess the scope of your changes and decide which tool to use.
2. For targeted edits, call replace_in_file tool to make changes to a specific file.
3. For major overhauls or initial file creation, rely on create_file.
4. Once the file has been edited with either create_file or replace_in_file, the system will provide you with the final state of the modified file. Use this updated content as the reference point for any subsequent SEARCH/REPLACE operations, since it reflects any auto-formatting or user-applied changes.

By thoughtfully selecting between create_file and replace_in_file, you can make your file editing process smoother, safer, and more efficient.
