Understand the project ribbon during background refresh
Learn how the project ribbon behaves during background refresh so you can confidently navigate without losing sight of your current project.
Audience
This guide is designed for project manager.
Steps
Step 1: View your current project in the ribbon
When a project is already selected, its name remains visible in the ribbon even while the system refreshes data in the background, so you always know which project you are working on.
Step 2: Notice the subtle refresh indicator
While data is being refreshed, a small indicator appears beside the project selector in the ribbon to show that a background update is in progress without interrupting your work.
Step 3: Continue working without disruptive loading messages
During background refreshes you will not see full-width loading or "refreshing project" messages taking over the header, allowing you to navigate the sidebar and pages smoothly.
