To refresh your test Marketplace, you need to go to Pages in your Flex Console and click the button “Import default pages”. You can then make adjustments to your test Marketplace and see how they look on the page. You can visit Pages by going to you Test environment and clicking on "Build" and then "Content".

How to use Pages during development?
When you are developing your marketplace or you hired a developer to help you, you should use your Test environment to build out your static content with Pages. This environment should be connected to a Test version of your marketplace frontend.
At the same time, you have a Dev version of your marketplace frontend where code changes are being deployed. Once these code changes are completed, they should be used to update the Test version of your marketplace. This keeps your Test marketplace, which you are modifying with no-code tools, up-to-date with the latest code-customized version of your marketplace (the Dev marketplace).
When you are ready to go live, you will procure a Live environment and create a Live version of your marketplace. The Live version contains both the latest (working) code changes and the latest no-code changes. Code changes continue to be developed in the Dev version, then deployed to the Test and Live versions when ready. You make no code changes via Console in the Test environment and preview them in the Test marketplace. Once you're happy with them, you copy them to your Live marketplace by clicking the 'Copy to live...' button.
Setting up your Dev (and Live) marketplace is a technical task requiring development help. Developers can consult this guide to learn how to update existing marketplace codebases with Pages functionality.
