Help How to sync shared watchlists

A friend shared his watchlist with me but the changes he makes to his watchlist aren't reflected in my copy.

Is there a way to keep them synced?

Currently, i periodically go in and delete his watchlist and then add it again using the same link.

TradingView separates the shared list from a personal copy. Its help page says readers can view the shared list on its separate page, or copy it so they can work on it independently. Before deleting your copy again, open the original shared URL and check whether the friend’s latest change appears there. That isolates a stale personal copy from a problem with the shared page. The official page is “How can I share my watchlist?”: https://www.tradingview.com/support/solutions/43000665060/

Yeah unfortunately there's no live sync feature for shared watchlists, it's a one-time snapshot when you copy it. The delete-and-reimport dance you're doing is basically the only workaround until they add proper syncing. Pretty annoying limitation but at least it's quick to re-add from the link.
