For example, suppose you have to create a page for a brand new product of your company. You open CKFinder to get the product picture to include in the company web site, but, when opening the "Products" folder, you can't find that picture. You take the phone and call "Beth", saying: "Hey Beth, the product picture is not at CKFinder!". Beth says, "Ops... just a minute". She opens CKFinder in her computer, uploads the picture file from her desktop and tells you: "It's there now, just refresh it". You click on Refresh and, voila! The file appears there for you. This is why CKFinder is also known as '''Collaborative Software'''.

When you work in a shared environment managed by CKFinder, where dozens or even hundreds of users are working on the same files at the same time, it may happen that some changes are being introduced by others to the files or folders that you are processing or viewing at any given moment.

This is where the Refresh option might come to the rescue. This feature lets you reload the contents of a folder and see its most current state. Whenever you need to see the updated file list, click the Refresh button from the CKFinder Toolbar.
