Refreshing the Split View window

Changes in the layer properties do not update in the Split View window. For example, if you change the symbology color, the ArcMap Table Of Contents window and data frame update, but the table of contents and data frame in the Split View window do not. You can apply these changes to layers in the Split View window with the Refresh Table of Contents tool.
