Nosto runs delta updates to update products and related data within just a few minutes.
Indexing processes are automatically triggered whenever there is a necessity for applying changed settings (e.g. searchable fields, out-of-stock policy, ..). You can directly check in the UI when the index process has been successfully finished and your settings have been updated.
Additionally, Nosto runs an automatic daily full re-index to ensure that performance metrics are fully updated.
