I'm not quite sure but I as far as I know, TW-binaries are only replaced
once a year (creating a new TL-compilation).

For every TL-release where is a own config-directory at

<userhome>/.texliveYYYY/texmf-config/texworks/

so you can copy your modified files from one directory to another

\HTH

Andreas
