Updating a changed ipn in idw

Hi all

Once you have used an ipn to insert into an idw sheet, and you change the ipn after you have done the insert,

how do you update the ipn, so the changes appear. I don't use ipn too often, so don't know it in very much detail.
Even when I delete the sheet and reinsert the ipn, the changes don't appear, the ipn still appears as

it was before I did the change.

You need to move the Snap Shot pointer to after your changes. The green line on the time line shows where there are tweaks and the point down indicator on the timeline indicates where you are looking at the time line. Both the Snap Shot indicator and the View indicator are typically at the end of the tweaks on the timeline.

The Blue pointer on the timeline shown below designates where the Snap Shot View is taken from. I should note the pointer is only blue when selected to drag.
