I'm not perfectly clear on what type of changes you are making (i.e. editing files) or where you are making the changes. If you are making the changes in a file folder itself that Vortex normally manages, then that is what Vortex calls an External Change. After you make an External Change, you need to Deploy so Vortex can detect the change. Vortex will bring up a dialogue box during the deployment process and ask what you want to do with the change. You will have options like "Revert Changes" (put it back the way it was), "Use Newer File" (usually means keep the change you just made), "Delete Files" (if you deleted or moved files out of the folder), etc. Then you have to Confirm the selection you just made. If this is done properly, it will make the new changes a part of the normal Deployment process from then on (until you change something else).

 

If you do not go through this process properly then Vortex will overwrite your changes and it will "revert on game start" as you said.
