Who is this feature for?

If your organization uses a customer and/or candidate portal, you will benefit from this functionality. 

Explanation of this new feature

Manually refreshing the portal to implement certain changes in MSR is no longer necessary; this now happens automatically.

If you still want to refresh manually, this can now be done more easily with a new button. Given the large number of portal controller types, it is more efficient to choose a list view button. You can add it as follows:

• Go to Object Manager, Portal Controller object
• Go to Buttons, Links and Actions
• Create a new Button with the following properties:
  • Display type: List button
  • Show tickboxes: enabled
  • Content source: URL
  • Place this URL in the formula box: /lightning/cmp/msf__refreshPortalHandler
• Go to Search Layouts and find the 'Default Layout' profile
  • Click Edit
  • Under 'Custom Buttons', move the created button to the selected buttons and save the change.
• Go to the Button Layout list view and find the layout used
  • Click Edit
  • Under 'Custom Buttons', move the created button to the selected buttons and save the change.
• In the list view of the Portal Controller component, you will now see the new button:
