# Refresh

Refresh a Remote Desktop Manager workspace to retrieve updated content, or force a full local cache refresh when needed.

Refreshing the workspace allows for updating its content. Workspaces are usually refreshed automatically after a set period of time.

To refresh the workspace, use ***File – Refresh***. Performing a refresh ensures your workspace is up to date.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}

#### Simple refresh

A simple refresh updates the workspace to retrieve only the modified content. Use the above-mentioned ***File – Refresh*** or the refresh button in the ***Quick access toolbar***.

#### Local cache refresh

A refresh of the local cache resets the local cache of the workspace. All the content is retrieved from the database and the local cache file is recreated. Click the refresh button while holding the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key or use the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>F5</kbd> key combination. A local cache refresh may also help when experiencing [Cache](/rdm/getting-started/workspaces/caching.md) issues.
{% endtab %}

#### Settings

You can also perform a refresh of your workspace by holding the Command plus R button.

{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/file/refresh.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
