Updates to content-author are not showing up

Hi there,

I’m currently building off the Baskerville-2 theme for one of my sites. What I did was download all the files in the theme from https://wordpress.com/theme/baskerville-2/ and then uploaded these files to a new child theme on wordpress.com (which is my host).

I then activated this child theme and am currently trying to modify certain parts of this. I have been able to update the header and footer by modifying footer.php and header.php directly in the wordpress.com Theme File Editor.

However, when I try to update certain files like content-author.php with something random like:

<div class="author-heading">
	<h2 class="author-title"><?php printf( esc_html__( 'Puddddddblisheddd by %s', 'baskerville-2' ), '<span class="author-name">' . get_the_author() . '</span>' ); ?></h2>
</div><!-- .author-heading -->

the changes are not reflected in the site. Am I not modifying the right file? In general, how can I change the various content-*.php files?

Thanks for the help!
