Does schedule affects Dashboard / MR actions?

[chkpnt]

I'd like to run Renovate for my project on a weekly basis, but I'm unsure how it affects actions triggered by the checkmarks in the dashboard and merge-/pull-requests. It would be nice if those actions are executed as soon as possible and do not wait for the next scheduled run. As I haven't tried it out yet, what is the behaviour regarding those actions when a schedule is configured?

Quote from our docs: ¹

Examples of what having a Dependency Dashboard will allow you to do:

• View all PRs in one place, rather than having to filter PRs by author
• Rebase/retry multiple PRs without having to open each individually
• Override any rate limiting (e.g. concurrent PRs) or scheduling to force Renovate to create a PR that would otherwise be suppressed
• Recreate an unmerged PR (e.g. for a major update that you postponed by closing the original PR)

You can use the dashboard to get updates ahead of your schedule. If you click on a update in the dashboard, you should get the update PR soon after. 😉

Thanks! I filed a PR (#15941) regarding the docs.

And thanks to your answer I'm now aware that GitHub Markdown supports footnotes! 🎉
