# Reload

Bring your teammates' synchronized changes into your model without sharing your own.

**Reload** updates your local copy with what teammates synchronized since your last reload. Your own changes stay in your model and aren't shared.

Rhino command: `Reload`
{% endhint %}

## Reload your model

1. Finish the command you're running.
2. In the **Sync** panel, click **Reload**.
3. Wait for the progress window to close.

Rhino Sync downloads the central file and replaces only the objects teammates changed. The log shows how many, such as `Reloading 12 objects`. If nothing changed, it shows `No objects to reload`.

## When to reload

* Before you start on an area a teammate has been working on.
* When Rhino Sync undoes your change because the object is **Outdated**. See [Edit conflicts](/collaboration/edit-conflicts.md).
* When a teammate tells you in chat that they synchronized.

## Good to know

* **Your changes are safe.** Objects you hold can't be changed by anyone else, so a reload never overwrites them.
* **Undo history is cleared.** After a reload you can't undo earlier commands.
* **Layer visibility stays yours.** A reload doesn't change which layers you have turned on, off or locked.
