# refreshView() for Lightning Experience

## Usage

Returns `true` if view refresh is invoked, `false` otherwise. When this method is called within the Salesforce console, it refreshes the current active view. If any related lists are included in this tab, they’re refreshed too. This method is available in API version 38.0 or later.

## Syntax

```javascript
sforce.opencti.refreshView({
     callback:FUNCTION
});
```

## Response

This method is asynchronous. The response is returned in an object passed to a callback method. The response object contains the following fields.

| Name          | Type    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `success`     | boolean | Returns `true` if the API method call was invoked successfully, `false` otherwise.                                                                                                                           |
| `returnValue` | object  | This API method doesn’t return this object. The `returnValue` is always `null`.                                                                                                                              |
| `errors`      | array   | If the API call was successful, this variable is `null`. If the API call failed, this variable returns an array of [error messages](/docs/service/api-cti/guide/sforce-api-cti-error-messages-lightning.md). |
