# What changes on the Event App cause an "Update Now" notification?

Some updates to the Event App apply automatically, while others require users to manually select the "Update Now" option in the app menu to see the changes.

Use the list below to determine whether your update will appear immediately or require users to update manually.

---

### Changes That Trigger an "Update Now" Notification

The following updates require users to select "Update Now" to see the changes:

- **Event Details**
  
    - Any changes made in the **General \> Event Details** section of the Experience Manager
- **Event Settings**
  
    - Any updates made in **Event App \> Event App Settings** (including Login Page Settings)

---

### Changes That Apply Immediately (No "Update Now" Required)

The following updates will appear in the app without an "Update Now" button. Users may need to refresh the page or navigate away and back to see the changes. For example, if a session name is changed, it won't update in real-time for users currently viewing that screen but will appear once they return.

- **Content Libraries (People, Sessions, Companies, Documents, Maps, Surveys, etc.)**
  
    - Adding, editing, or removing entries
    - Importing content
- **Sections**
  
    - Adding a section
    - Editing the name of a section
    - Updating the visibility of a section
    - Updating the order of a section
    - Removing a section
- **Page Designer**
  
    - Adding a widget
    - Editing a widget
- **Announcements**
  
    - Adding an announcement
    - Removing an announcement

**Tip: How to "Force" an Update Now Notification**

If a change does not trigger the "Update Now" button, you can force it to appear by making a small additional change to an area that **does** trigger the notification. This can help ensure that all updates are reflected in the app immediately when needed.
