Does Sapphire now have a Global Model refresh action like we have Sapphire.Add, right now i have implemented one such specific to my model, i want to make that global and come as part of the framework.

I found it very useful when refreshing the model when there are workspace changes, instead of attaching a IResourceListners ( need to be more careful and costly at times Sad

), we could provide this to context-menu or a action button at Outline node .

Also am trying to figure out how can we make this generic, which makes it applicable for any model element.

Let me know I can open a enhancement and we can discuss further there

Sapphire is built around the premise of not needing refresh. Using listeners to trigger refresh automatically is a bit more work, but it results in better user experience. There is nothing preventing adopters from contributing their own refresh actions, but I would not be in favor of adding such actions to the framework.
