Reload Attribute Info

This main window button reloads the current attribute list from the server. To accomplish this task, a new LDAP request is sent to the regarding server and all values are reloaded and displayed. If a value had changed, it is displayed in red:

You can also reload the info in the attribute list panel by using the menu option View - Refresh or by pressing the hotKey F5 when the list is in focus.

If you want the changed attribute values to be displayed in another color, you can configure this in the menu option Tools - Options - Colors - Font color for attributes with changed values.
