A scan is a snapshot. To bring a folder up to date you re-run it, and in Stood Flows that’s one button for the whole folder, running in the background so you can keep working.

One “Refresh all” for the folder

Folders use a single Refresh all. If a folder holds both Salesforce graphs and Marketing Cloud graphs, the refresh window opens with a tab for each source, so you pick what to bring up to date — only Salesforce, only Marketing Cloud, or run each in turn. A Marketing-Cloud-only folder opens straight to its business units.

Every refresh is a full scan. There’s no incremental mode to reason about: a full scan is fast enough now that the per-field work runs in parallel, and it removes the question of whether a partial refresh left something stale.

It runs in the background

Starting a refresh hands it off to a background task and closes the launcher. A banner tracks progress across the business units, and you can navigate away, open another folder, or read a dashboard while it runs. The scan survives closing the launcher — it does not survive quitting the app.

Pause, resume, and cancel are different

  • Pause stops after the current business unit. Every BU already finished keeps its result, and the rest are marked resumable. Resume picks up only the ones that were left.
  • Cancel stops the run and keeps whatever finished, but nothing is marked for resume.

The distinction matters on a large account: pause is a clean checkpoint, cancel is a stop.

Your Mac stays awake

A full-account refresh can outlast the display sleep timer. While a refresh is running, Stood Flows holds a power assertion so the machine doesn’t suspend mid-scan and kill it. The assertion is released the moment the run finishes, pauses, or is cancelled — it only applies while work is actually in flight.
