When I create a Run Configuration for local Tomcat, IntelliJ creates following folders:

$ ls ~/.IntelliJIdea2018.1/system/tomcat/Unnamed_my-app
conf  logs  work

with application logs (the original logs folder /opt/tomcat/logs stays empty) and conf folder.

So does it mean that if I want to change server.xml/context.xml or some other config file from conf folder I should change it in IntelliJ folder? And what if I create multiple configs pointing to the same Tomcat, which conf folder it will use?

From my experience it seems that when config is created it copies original conf folder, but I would like to have a reference to documentation about this feature.
