# Background restart via dashboard

https://fresh-produce-videos.t3.tigrisfiles.io/sync.mp4

Small fresh produce! Sometimes I want to trigger app restarts and close my browser and go play some volleyball. Sometimes I wished other teammates saw that I triggered a restart on UI.

Now we all can 🙂 

Triggering a restart via UI will happen fully on background regardless of you being inside the view and will be synced across people with access to the app on that same page.

Let me know how you feel about that and other feedbacks you might have.
