# How Plays Load

Automatically — there's no "load" button. Selecting a project (or changing its games, or switching team) pulls plays from your partner. The top toolbar shows live progress:

"Loading {game} (2 of 5)…", then "Building cutups — 1,204  
plays…".

Changing the **recipe** — the definition, its rules, any filter — never re-downloads. The tree just rebuilds instantly from the plays already pulled.

**Refresh plays** (the top-toolbar button that replaces the load status once loading finishes) re-pulls from the partner. Use it after new film is uploaded or broken down — new plays flow into every playlist, stat, and chart.

The tree root always confirms what you have: "{Project} (1,204 plays)".

Nothing showing? The usual reasons, in order of likelihood: no games picked, no definition selected, the definition has no column set or rules, or the partner isn't connected — watch for the "Not connected to {Partner}" notice.
