If you have added some User Reports and then changed the design so that the reports are out of date, you can update them using this option (all user reports will be updated). You do not normally need to do this when plotting because it is done automatically on all user reports which have the Update report before plotting design option checked.
Note: each User Report symbol retains a copy of the report format file which it was generated from. This means that the design is self-contained and can be used even when the original Report Maker file is not available. It also means that you must explicitly Reload the report definition if you have changed it through Report Maker.
