Looks like adding a module now requires a GW restart in 8.3? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/b/4be7487ce9233a7d12802c4760961e5ba09da703.png) ---

Any module install/uninstall/update in 8.3 requires a restart. > [@Module Install/Updates/Removal and Gateway Reboots](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/module-install-updates-removal-and-gateway-reboots/109220): > > One of the new things i'm noticing on Ignition 8.3 is that for every module install, uninstall, it's forcing a reboot of the entire gateway. I saw this behavior while importing the kafka module, and when trying to import an 8.1 module into the gateway (it was an expected fail lol). I can think of a few reasons why it's okay for it, but for deployment of 3rd party modules, it may be disruptive in a running system, even if the 3rd party module doesn't affect core functionalities (alarm,history, op… ---

I figured it was any module, just a little bummed this is the case. I seem to remember 8.1 does not require restart, I wonder if this will not be required one day for 8.3. ---

I don't think hot loading will ever be an option for 8.3. It was removed deliberately. ---

I’m still exploring the idea of decoupling the JavaScript dependencies from the modules, in order to allow updates to the Perspective client-side resources (i.e. updates to Chart.js or ApexCharts dependencies) without a complete gateway restart. ---
