Refreshing Views

When you switch to the local or remote views of a site, Dreamweaver scans the contents of your local or remote site folders, and displays the current contents. On occasion, the view you're looking at in the Files panel may become out of date. For example, if you happen to upload or delete items on the remote site with a program other than Dreamweaver, those changes won't be shown in the Files panel. Similarly, if you move files into the local root folder by working in the Windows or Mac desktop, you may need to tell Dreamweaver to rescan and refresh its display of the local site.

To refresh the local or remote view:

1.	Choose the site you want to refresh from the Browse pop-up menu.
2.	Choose the view (local or remote) you want from the File view pop-up menu.
3.	Click the Refresh button in the Files panel toolbar. Dreamweaver rescans the site you selected, and updates the files area.
