[FAQs](https://help.sierrainteractive.com/helpcenter/manually-refresh-mls-data-to-update-listings-on-your-website#faqs) --- ### Why This Feature Matters Sierra automatically syncs listing data from your MLS® feed on a recurring schedule, but changes you make in the MLS® — new photos, a price adjustment, a status update — may not appear on your website immediately. A manual refresh pulls the latest MLS® data for a specific listing on demand, so you can: - Correct a price on your website right away after it changes in the MLS®, so buyers never see outdated numbers. - Update listing photos before sharing a property on social media or in marketing emails. - Keep your own listings looking polished and current, which protects your professional reputation with both buyers and sellers. [back to the top](https://help.sierrainteractive.com/helpcenter/manually-refresh-mls-data-to-update-listings-on-your-website#top) --- ### Before You Begin - The listing must already appear in your **Featured Listings** before you can refresh it. If it doesn't, follow the import steps below first. - Make sure the change you're expecting (photo, price, detail edit) has already been saved and published in the MLS® itself. Sierra can only pull data the MLS® has made available.

Log in to your Sierra Client Admin Area. 2. Click **Listings** in the main navigation. You'll land on the **Featured Listings** page. 3. Click **Import New Listing**. 4. Select your **MLS® Region** (if applicable). 5. Enter the **MLS® number** and select the **Listing Type**. 6. Click **Submit**. 7. Allow 5–10 minutes for the listing to process and appear. #### Refresh the Listing 1. From the **Featured Listings** page, locate the listing. Use the **Search by MLS® #** field if you manage many listings. 2. In the **Action** column on the right, click the **green refresh icon**.![refresh\_listing](https://help.sierrainteractive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/refresh_listing.png?width=670&height=118&name=refresh_listing.png) 3. In the confirmation overlay, click **Yes** to start the refresh.![force\_refresh](https://help.sierrainteractive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/force_refresh.png?width=413&height=203&name=force_refresh.png) 4. Wait for the refresh to process — typically **5–10 minutes**. Once complete, your website displays the updated photos and listing details. [back to the top](https://help.sierrainteractive.com/helpcenter/manually-refresh-mls-data-to-update-listings-on-your-website#top) --- ### Best Practices - Refresh a listing right after you make photo or detail changes in the MLS®, rather than waiting to notice the discrepancy later. - Verify the MLS® number before importing as an incorrect number can pull in the wrong property. - Reserve manual refreshes for time-sensitive updates. Routine changes will sync automatically, and unnecessary refreshes add system load. - After the refresh completes, spot-check the listing on your live website (not just in the CRM) to confirm the update is visible to visitors. [back to the top](https://help.sierrainteractive.com/helpcenter/manually-refresh-mls-data-to-update-listings-on-your-website#top) --- ### Troubleshooting Common Issues - **The listing doesn't appear in Featured Listings.** Use **Import New Listing** and confirm the MLS® Region, Listing Type, and MLS® number are all entered correctly. - **The listing still hasn't updated 10+ minutes after refreshing.** Reload the page or clear your browser cache, you may be viewing a cached version of the listing. If the data is still outdated, confirm the change is live in the MLS® itself, then contact Sierra Support. - **Listing details updated, but photos still look old.** Photos can take longer to propagate than text data. Wait a bit longer and try a hard refresh of the listing page. [back to the top](https://help.sierrainteractive.com/helpcenter/manually-refresh-mls-data-to-update-listings-on-your-website#top) --- ### FAQs - **Can I refresh multiple listings at once?** No, refreshes are processed one listing at a time. - **Will a manual refresh delete or override custom changes I made in the CRM?** No. The refresh only pulls updated data and photos from the MLS® feed. - **How often does Sierra sync with the MLS® automatically?** Automatic syncs run multiple times per day, so most changes appear on your website without any action on your part. A manual refresh is for when you need the update immediately. - **Why isn't my change showing up even after a refresh?** Sierra can only display data the MLS® has published. If your change is still pending in the MLS®, refresh again once it's live there.
