Objects in masters do not update easily

Hello dear GS,
I have tried to put objects in masters in oder to make graphical changes in all masters in the project. Now it seems that when I change the object , the changes show up in the masters but not anymore in the layout window. When I save the project and open it again these changes appear.

Is there a way to uppdate the layout without closing the file?

In the picture I put the same object in the master and in the layout.

Pertti:

When a Master change does not appear in the Layout, I have found that changing the Layout's Master to a different one, then back to the one you want will update the Master on the Layout. Faster than closing then reopening the file, maybe someone else has a simpler solution.

Just right click on the MASTERS folder in the Layout tab of the Navigator and choose "Update".
