> Following up on a discussion with [~mcgilman]. When updating the flow via a REST api from an external process, there is a period of time where user doesn't see flow updates. There is no way for the user to 'refresh' either, has to wait for the next 30s cycle (default). From a UX standpoint, the Refresh should update to the latest state of everything (stats and flow).
> Suggestion: have the context menu's _Refresh status_ action fire an additional request to the *revision* API to detect external changes. The UI will flag the view as out of sync (maybe it should just update, because a user is already trying to force an update?)
> In light of this change, it makes sense to rename the action to a simple Refresh (drop the ' status' part).
