# Does a new Beacon refresh when added to an existing Beacon collection?

When a new Beacon is added to an existing Beacon collection, the Beacon does not refresh automatically.

For example, if a new Beacon is added to an existing Beacon collection with an occurrence count set to 3, users who have already exhausted that Beacon count do not see the new Beacon.

:::(Info) (your title goes here)

* To make the new Beacon appear to your end users, refresh the Beacon segment to reset the count to zero.
* However, when you have multiple Beacons in one collection, refreshing one Beacon segment refreshes all the other Beacon segments. 
* If you want to refresh only one Beacon segment, it's recommended that you create a separate segment for that Beacon.
:::
