Layout changes and other visual modifications, such as applying Advanced Theming, are shown immediately in-app. If you're displaying a dashboard via Send to screen or a sharing link, changes will appear when the dashboard refreshes automatically every 12 hours.

To apply changes sooner, follow the steps below to trigger an immediate remote refresh.

## Refresh dashboards connected via Send to screen

1. Click **Send to screen** in the top right of your screen.
2. Click the **ellipsis menu** next to the screen you want to refresh.
3. Click **Refresh** from the drop-down menu.

## Refresh dashboards shared via a sharing link

1. Click **Settings** from the navigation menu.
2. Select **Dashboard settings** from the drop-down menu.
3. Under Refresh remote dashboards, click **Refresh**.

If you don't see the changes right away, refresh your browser as well.
