Updating a Signed Photoshop Panel

I recently finished a Photoshop panel that I will need to make frequent updates to. The panel is signed and packaged, and I'm wondering if I can make edits to the files without having to (RE) sign and package the panel. I've tried making edits to the index. html file, and when trying to open the panel I get the "not  properly signed" error message. The panel will be installed on a few different users' computers in my office, and I would like to be able to make edits to the code and have it update on each of the users' machines. Has anyone tried anything like this? Thanks!

Correct answer Trevor:

You can place your extension online on either bitbucket / github or somewhere else and then have the extension check if updates are available and git pull or download to the correct folder if yes.

It's basic stuff but beyond the freebie service here so you'll most likely have to do a lot of googling or pay someone to do the job

You just have to get them to turn on the debug mode.

Thank you Trevor! This would resolve the "not signed" error message, but I would still have to update each instance of code on each of the computers, which is one of the things I'm trying to avoid. I believe there are some panels out there (ex. Social Kit) that utilize automatic updates, and that is the kind of thing I'm trying to accomplish. This may be much more complicated than I'm imagining so I'm sorry if I'm being too vague!
