After initially loading a server's node tree, ecFlowUI will automatically refresh, or synchronise with, the server at regular intervals. This interval can be set globally for all servers in the Edit | Preferences | Server Options dialogue, or for each server individually by selecting the Server Settings tab in the Info Panel while a server's root node is selectedchanged in the Server Settings. If a suite filter is enabled, the synchronisation process only considers those suites. There are three possible outcomes from the refresh:

There are further options in the Refresh menu, allowing you to refresh or reset all servers in the current tab or just the currently selected server.
Refresh drift
In order to help reduce server load, ecFlowUI can reduce the frequency of its server synchronisations over time. By default, this is enabled for all servers. Using all the default settings, the first server refresh is performed after 60 seconds. If there has been no user interaction during this time, then an extra 5 seconds will be added before the next refresh. So the next refresh will be 65 seconds later, and if again there is no user interaction with the server then the next refresh period will be 70 seconds away. This increment will stop being added once the refresh period has reached an hour. All these parameters are configurable from the Server Settings.

There are two ways to change the server settings: the global settings and the per-server settings. By default, the per-server settings are linked to the global settings, so changing the global settings affects interactions with all servers. But for each server, the settings can be unlinked and changed individually.
