I notice that some config.js file edits will be applied with a MagicMirror reload(ctrl-r), some wont take without a complete program close and restart.   What edits require a restart and what requires a reload and how can you check?  How can I troubleshoot those things?</p>
<p dir="auto">I have  a latest install that I am configuring a calendar for my dad, and I can not get the clock to take edits.  No change that I make will be applied.  Not even with a whole restart.  I am not sure how to troubleshoot this.</p>

<p dir="auto">I figured out the calendar config.   I was leaving out the config {} section and just adding the options right under the module: “clock” &amp; position:“top_left”.</p>
<p dir="auto">I looked at that over and over and compared to examples and I couldnt figure it out to save my life.   I woke up in the middle of the night and took a look at it again and it jumped out at me.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks for the responses.</p>

<p dir="auto">ctrl-r only reloads the web page, its does not restart any of the node_helpers some modules use</p>
<p dir="auto">node_helpers only get loaded at startup</p>
<p dir="auto">example. weather is all in browser, calendar uses a node_helper to get data<br />
so ctrl-r will reload weather completely<br />
if you changed the calendar config to add/remove a calendar, then ctrl-r will NOT do that<br />
so, you have to look a the module implementation to see how you need to restart</p>

<p dir="auto">however it doesn’t work reliably on any platform.<br />
i made changes last year to solve this, and its works sometimes</p>
