You can retry loading only the failed assets instead of restarting the entire refresh. This helps you fix temporary issues (like intermittent timeouts) without blocking the overall snapshot update. ![Handling Failed Assets during Refresh (image 3 of 5)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/155059751665/original/6rEEssPXG7lNT-jUk3kLLk6ZwDavXwMUIA.png) **Handling Failed Assets during Refresh (image 3 of 5)** This screenshot appears in the "Handling Failed Assets during Refresh" section of "Refresh or Update Snapshots".

Clicking it lets you: 1. **Select which sub-accounts** (that previously imported this snapshot) should receive the update 2. **Choose the assets to push** (e.g., only workflows, or specific forms) 3. **Manually sync updates** into those sub-accounts without reloading the entire snapshot **Note:** Updates only push to sub-accounts inside your own agency. External agencies must re-import using a new link. --- ## **Quick Tips** - Always refresh your snapshot before sharing or pushing updates - Use the Push Update feature to sync selected changes to client accounts - Pushed updates are selective, not destructive - existing data stays safe --- Documentation for GHL Customer Care.
