Good to know. When you're online, the app updates on its own
within seconds if anything changes for your facility — no need to
refresh. You only ever see your own facility's data. If a newer
version of the app is published, a banner appears at the top: tap
Reload in the browser, or Download update in the Windows /
Android app, to get the latest features (your data keeps syncing
either way).
