<section begin=short />Refreshes the list with the connection definitions.<section end=short />

The [[FireDAC.Comp.Client.TFDCustomManager.RefreshConnectionDefFile|RefreshConnectionDefFile]] method discards all changes in the [[FireDAC.Comp.Client.TFDCustomManager.ConnectionDefs|ConnectionDefs]] list and loads the file with the connection definitions. 

The list is completely refreshed, if there is no active connection using the definitions from this list. Otherwise, for:
* New connection definition--new definition appears in the list.
* Modified connection definition-- changed definition appears in the list, if there is no active pooled connection associated with this definition.
* Deleted connection definition--deleted definition is excluded from the list, if there is no active connection associated with this definition.

Note: You need to restart the RAD Studio IDE for changes to take effect.

===Example===
<source lang="delphi">
FDManager1.RefreshConnectionDefFile;
FDManager1.GetConnectionDefNames(Memo1.Lines);
</source>
