Refresh button on the toolbar. After executing the operation the added repository objects are displayed in the update structure.Object order is crucial when an update is created. Add or place the added objects in the update structure starting from parent objects or sources, which are absent in the target repository, and finishing with the objects that were created on their basis.
NOTE. When separating administrator roles and depending on the selected access control method it is possible to add update elements available to user and also differences in work with update elements and managing object update options.

After executing the operations in the web application the object is added to the update to the end of the hierarchical list. In the desktop application the object is added to the update after the selected object to the selected folder or to the end of the hierarchical list.
To add several repository objects to the update, hold down the CTRL key while selecting objects.
When an update is created, an added object can be used to create other objects, or it can use objects that must be included in the update.

Some types of repository objects show special features when they are added to update:
If attribute-based access control method is used, to update object attributes add the repository object, to which attributes belong, to the update. The attributes are transferred with the object.
If report preview is enabled in the repository, when reports are added to the update, their preview images are not added to the update because they are not part of metadata. To add images to the update, set the Transfer Object Thumbnail parameter to Yes. After the update is applied, preview images are set to objects if the Allow Displaying of Objects as Icons without Taking into Account Object Access Permissions checkbox is selected in the target repository's security manager.
If for dictionaries added to update (including MDM dictionaries) the following child objects were set up: selection schemas, groups of elements or import/export schema of MDM dictionaries, the child objects will be displayed in the update structure as nested.
If a workbook is added to the update, the target repository must contain a measures dictionary with the MEASURES identifier or a units dictionary with the UNITS identifier to correctly update objects.
