In previous versions of Apple Configurator, Refresh was available in the Devices menu to force a refresh (reset the device to the specified configuration, for example to ensure that the correct settings, apps, profiles, and so forth are on the device) of a supervised device. In version 1.1, the "Apply" button becomes the "Refresh" button when no changes have been made to the supervised device's configuration. This is especially useful if you have disabled the preference to automatically refresh when a supervised device is connected via USB.
