 When you or your collaborators change the configuration of a machine in the Viam app, `viam-server` automatically synchronizes the configuration to your machine and updates the running resources within 15 seconds.

+Reconfiguration of individual resources happens concurrently if there are no configured dependencies for any resources.

 You can also revert to an earlier configuration from the History tab.
