Yes, your online control panel allows you to make real-time, instant changes to your app - even after it's compiled and in use. End users will see changes the next time the app is launched on their device. * You cannot change the icon associated with your app, the one that shows on device home screens, without re-compiling the app then re-distributing it.

Apple won't allow you to resubmit your app with only minor mods to the app, such as a few PDFs. URL is a better solution. Comments Correct.
