Like many others I am enthusiastic about the lightweight WebJobs that can so easily be added to Azure Websites.
But I assumed one of the advantages with WebJobs was to easily modify the scheduling. When I tried I was surprised that there seems to be no way to do that. A deployed WebJob seems to be stuck with the initial scheduling.
Do I need to deploy new WebJobs just to modify the scheduling?

To change the schedule, or to Modify the CRON value just use the App Service Editor to modify the WWWROOT/App_Data/jobs/triggered/YOUR_WEBJOB_NAME/settings. job file; By the time of writing, App Service Editor is still in preview but it will work.
Go to https://yourappservicename.scm.azurewebsites.net, then click Debug -> CMD or Powershell (go with Powershell), then navigate to site\wwroot\App_Data\jobs\{continuous/triggered}\job-name\ . Type touch settings. job to make the file. Then click the pencil icon to edit it right in Kudu.
Summary. Azure Functions offers more developer productivity than Azure App Service WebJobs does. It also offers more options for programming languages, development environments, Azure service integration, and pricing. For most scenarios, it's the best choice.

In the settings.job file amend the schedule in CRON value and will be reflected in the App's Web Job Dashboard.
The App Service Editor is available in App Service > Development Tools

I finally found it. Scheduled WebJobs turn up under Scheduler in the main bar.
The Save button is not visible until you actually make a change.
