Auto Refresh

True

From v5.2.10 - If set to "True" this overrides the use of the WebURL, when clicking Save in Studio, and checks for updated configuration will be made at most every 30seconds (or whatever value is specified as the RefreshAfter).

If set to "False", and you have specified the WebURL,  Studio will call the web application at the specified URL to tell it to reload the configuration. No checks will be done automatically. If no WebURL has been specified then the web application's atVersion.aspx page will have to be requested manually or the Application Pool restarted, in order for the front-end to reload the application configuration.

Refresh After

30

From v5.2.10 - The minimum number of seconds between checking for updates to the configuration. If this value is set to "0" then every request from the front-end will be preceded by asking the back-end to determine whether the current configuration is out of date.
