# Refresh and restore

> Sync the Rules list with Shopify, and bring back your rules after you reinstall AndOr.

**Refresh** brings the Rules list back in line with what Shopify has. Restore
brings back the rules you had before you uninstalled AndOr.

## Refresh the Rules list

Use Refresh when the list looks out of date. For example, after someone
changed or deleted a discount in the Shopify admin.

Open **Rules** and click **Refresh**. Then read the message at the
bottom of the screen:

- "View is up to date": nothing changed.
- "View refreshed, ... rule(s) updated": the list now matches Shopify.
- "View refreshed, ... updated, ... failed": some rules could not be
  updated. Try again.
- "Couldn't refresh, please try again": the refresh did not run.

> **Note:** The list only shows rules created with AndOr.

## Restore rules after a reinstall

When you uninstall AndOr, your rules are kept. When you install it again,
the Rules page shows a **Restore (...)** button with the number of rules
found.

1. **Click Restore.**

   The **Restore Previous Rules** window says how many rules were found
   from before your last uninstall.

2. **Click Restore in the window.**

   The rules are re-created in Shopify as **Inactive**.

3. **Review each rule, then activate it.**

   Test it as a draft first if your checkout changed since you
   uninstalled. See
   [Schedule and status](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/building-rules/schedule-and-status/).
