How to update the directory structure (files and folders) of a project in Web Storm (aka PHP Storm)?

Question

phpstorm

Hey!
There is a WebStorm IDE (aka PHPStorm).
I create a folder in the project files, but it is not visible.
You have to switch to another project and back.
Only then is the entire folder and file structure updated and the new folder becomes visible.
How to update the directory structure without restarting the project?

Ctrl+Alt+Y or File->Synchronize

If it doesn't help, then do what is indicated in the last answer.

Answer 2

Usually, new files and folders created outside the IDE become visible after a few seconds. If this does not happen, then it is enough to collapse and expand the entire project tree.

Answer 3

It also helped to close the project and then open the added folder as a new project (File -> Open.... -><added_new_folder>).
It is not necessary to wait for the project to load.
Open your project again, the folder has become visible.
