# Reload CSS

With the shortcut ⌥ r you can quickly reload all the CSS in a page without refreshing the entire page. You will also find this option by right-clicking the reload button.

This is ideal when you're iterating on styles and want to see your changes without losing any JavaScript state. Think of things like an open modal, a partially filled form, or a specific scroll position.

Note that this reloads all external stylesheets. Inline `<style>` blocks and `style` attributes are not affected.

## Automate it with live reloading

Instead of manually reloading the CSS, you can use [live reloading](/docs/live-auto-reloading/) to have Polypane watch your file system and reload CSS automatically on every save, also without a full page refresh.
