Hi After editing zone settings - do i need to restart gateway network connection for the settings to update? Are zone settings only checked at the connection initialization? Regards ---

Hello, Not sure if your zone settings pertain to perspective client session interactions. If that is the case I have noticed I must relaunch the session in workstation for the changes to take effect. Regards, Frank ---

I believe they do only take effect when the client is reset, if this is a concern I would recommend adding the update notifiaction setting on the project settings to force all of your clients to update after a preset time. ---

> update notifiaction setting on the project settings Hm i am intrigued by the comment above and i wonder if this is a new feature. I am on the version 8.1.20 and could not find it anywhere ☹ I did not know that forced update is possible after preset time. Any chance for a screenshot of this setting please? ---

This not a new feature as far as I'm aware, I think it was added in version 8.0. It's found in the project settings on the ignition designer. > **[Session Update Notifications Video at Inductive University](https://inductiveuniversity.com/videos/session-update-notifications/8.1)** > > Perspective Sessions can notify users when an update had been applied.
