“Refresh Updates Working File” describes what happens in the working file when you use the Refresh command:

● Yes, always: A refresh always updates the setting in the working file with the setting from the project file.

● Yes, if not modified: A refresh updates the setting in the working file only if you did not change it. Once you change the setting in your working file, a refresh will not override it. To reload all settings from the project file, click Reset Document Preferences in the Project Sharing dialog box.
