Where is the site window refresh button in Dreamweaver 2017?

in Dreamweaver 2017 I can't find a refresh button on the site files.  Previous versions had both a sync button and a refresh button. This only has a sync button. How can I refresh without a refresh button?  I've had to quit the whole program and reopen it to get images I just put there to show up.  I used to just be able to hit the refresh button. Is it hidden somewhere?

    It's on the bottom left of the Files window...

    It's hard to see, but it's also in the bottom left of the Expanded window too.

    Are you working in a defined local site folder?  That's really important.

    Images appear instantly for me.  And I save my work often with Ctrl+S so no problems.   The keyboard shortcut on Windows is F5 to Refresh.

    I was in a defined local site folder but I have an old slow computer so things sometimes take a while to show up. John Fritz answered the question of where they put the button.
