 +Unfortunately we didn't manage to find a safe way to refresh the viewport in all cases when an instance has been picked by the user. Especially given many cases where the node can be used as well as VPR interfering.
 +
 +That's why these two controls exist.
 +
 +**Refresh** Basically triggers a redraw of the current viewports, which is sufficient in most cases including VPR renders.
 +
 +**Refresh Current Frame** performs a **next frame -> previous frame** jig to refresh motions for the current frame. This needs to be used if the node is used to control Instance weights in the Instancer.
