Description
Scenario
Alice has a table or view open, meanwhile Bob is modifying the content (could be changing, removing or adding a row).
Alice would like to know when content is modified and would like to have a possibility to refresh the data, without a full page reload, and with keeping temporary modifications (e.g. filters, sortings).
Implementation hints
- In the backend, tables makes use of notify_push and informs about tables or views where content is modified
- In front-end, tables registers a listener on this event
- When a message comes, the user will be notified, that table/view content was changed
- Furthermore, a button appears, that enables the user to reload that data of currently active table or view
Precondition
notify_push is enabled on the NC instance.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the backend uses notify_push for table or view changes, then inspect where frontend tables registers a listener. Done means users are notified when content changes and can refresh the active table or view without a full page reload while retaining filters and sorting.
