We made a few custom code changes on our local version, it works in dev, but the application is not fully functional in production after copying and clearing the cache; such as dashboard doesn’t display, menus don’t expand to show sub-menus … is there a rebuild process to follow? I removed app.js and libraries.js and they do get rebuilt, but it doesn’t solve the issue. Must be missing something…  
  
  
  
Appreciate any help and ideas…

Also tried deleting the app.css and libraries.css in /media/css folder, they got rebuilt but that didn’t resolve it either.
