Refresh Content allows you to send a command to a player only if content is not displaying correctly, such as text overlapping. A player must be online and checking in to the software in order to receive the Refresh Content command.
It is recommend that a Refresh Content command is used before using Force Update. Players should automatically download and update after any changes are made to the Layout Designer, Playlists, Products, or Events.
