Run a manual update

Select Update Widget Now whenever you want WoWidget to request current character information and send a fresh payload to Discord.

A manual update is useful after changing characters, saving a new portrait, reaching a progression milestone, or adjusting the variables configured in Discord's Widget Editor.

Use Update Widget Now for an immediate refresh.

Configure automatic updates

Open Settings, enable automatic updates, and choose the interval that fits how often you play. WoWidget remains idle between checks and updates only while the application is running.

30 minutesBest for active sessions and frequent progression changes.

1 hourRecommended balance for most users.

Longer intervalsAppropriate when the widget changes infrequently.

Choose startup behavior and an automatic update interval.
