-     In order to debug vue yarn and vite servers must be started before starting the django server.
+     In order to hot reload vue, the `yarn dev` server must be started before starting the django server.
 
 There are a number of built in tasks that are available. Here are a few of the key ones:
 
 - `Setup Dev Server` - Runs all the prerequisite steps so that the dev server can be run inside VSCode.
 - `Setup Tests` - Runs all prerequisites so tests can be run inside VSCode.
 
-Once these are run, you should be able to run/debug a django server in VSCode as well as run/debug tests directly through VSCode.
-There are also a few other tasks specified in case you have specific development needs:
+Once these are run, there are 2 options.  If you want to run a vue3 server in a hot reload mode for quick development of the frontend, you should run a development vue server:
+
+- `Yarn Dev` - Runs development Vue.js vite server not connected to VSCode. Useful if you want to make Vue changes and see them in realtime.
+
+If not, you need to build and copy the frontend to the django server.  If you make changes to the frontend, you need to re-run this and restart the django server:
+
+- `Collect Static Files` - Builds and collects the vue3 frontend so that it can be served via the django server.
+
+Once either of those steps are done, you can start the django server:
 
 - `Run Dev Server` - Runs a django development server not connected to VSCode.
+
+There are also a few other tasks specified in case you have specific development needs:
+
 - `Run all pytests` - Runs all the pytests outside of VSCode.
-- `Yarn Dev` - Runs development Vue.js server not connected to VSCode. Useful if you want to make Vue changes and see them in realtime.
 - `Serve Documentation` - Runs a documentation server. Useful if you want to see how changes to documentation show up.
