Abstract
A system for central refresh of a place includes a source place; a place type; a child place; each place comprising a plurality of place objects implemented as documents, logic, and associated design note, each design note including a plurality of items; some of the items being content items descriptive of content of the objects. A central refresh execution module determines whether an inherited place object is modified in a place by assigning to each item a sequence indicia indicative of change activity with respect to the item; generating and storing a stored checksum of sequence indicia generated for the content items; and responsive to a refresh operation with respect to the child place, and calculating a refresh checksum of sequence indicia for the content items. The central refresh execution module is responsive to the stored checksum and the refresh checksum being unequal for refreshing the child place.
