Refresh Button

Sometimes you want a fresh perspective or need to bypass the cache. That’s what the Refresh button is for.

What it does

Section titled “What it does”

When you click Refresh, ThinkReview sends a forceRegenerate signal to the backend. This tells the system to:

  1. Bypass Cache: Ignore any existing review for this specific code fingerprint.
  2. Re-analyze: Perform a completely new analysis from scratch.
  3. Update Cache: Replace the old cached review with this new version.

When to use it

Section titled “When to use it”
  • Second Opinion: AI models can sometimes offer different insights on subsequent attempts.
  • Stale Data: If you suspect the cached review is no longer relevant due to system updates.
  • Verification: To ensure a high security score remains consistent across attempts.

How it works

Section titled “How it works”
  1. Click the Refresh icon (circular arrow) in the review panel.
  2. The system sends a request with the forceRegenerate flag set to true.
  3. A loading indicator will appear while the AI performs the new analysis (usually 10-30 seconds).
  4. The updated review, scores, and suggestions will replace the current view.

Note: Refreshes count toward your subscription’s review limits, just like an initial review. Use them strategically.

TL;DR: The Refresh button forces the system to ignore cached results and generate a brand-new review. Use it when you want a second opinion or to verify that issues have been resolved.
