New Feature: Updating shared content feed options

There are two new ways to update the shared content feeds on your website:

Option 1: Refresh Feeds   This option pulls in all of the new and updated shared content and makes it available to import. This option will take 3-5 minutes to run.
Option 2: Update Imported Content  This option updates all of your imported content to reflect any changes. It also removes any shared content that has been deleted or is no longer available.

You can learn more about the updates in our shared content documentation.
