Is there a way to either reload or refresh a composition after saving it to update the file. I find that I often will make changes, usually with instrument settings, and have to save/exit file then open up the file to see the changes. It would be great if there is a reload or refresh command, like F5 for windows?
Thanks,
Mark

There are
Utilities menu > Update Layout
and
View menu > Redraw Screen

But perhaps that is not what you mean?

If I misunderstand you, then I apologize.

Thanks Peter. I knew about the Update Layout but wasn't aware of the Redraw Screen. I'll try this and see if it does what I want. I don't use the "View" menu much. Thanks again! :)
