How to refresh file when changes are detected in PhpStorm

Question

My colleague and I are working on the same project in PhpStorm shared in network, and it happens that we are editing the same Javascript file, however when I change the file, there is a delay for the update file on his computer and it's the same with me. Is there a way to make the PhpStorm update the file when it detects a change? Without this delay?

Answer 1

Go to File>Synchronize to refresh the files in the project or Use the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Y in windows and Cmd + Alt + Y in Mac.

Answer 2

You could manually reload file changes by clicking File > Synchronize, if it's not reloading automatically.

And for automatic reload go to File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings and under Synchronization section check Synchronize files on frame or editor tab activation and save this settings by pressing OK. That's it.
