Update a Twitter Avatar in Live

***Only applicable to the Standard writer's interface***

When using the Content Studio, it is not necessary to update Twitter avatars - they are always current. However, In the original writer's interface, avatars may need to be manually updated. When importing Tweets into your liveblog, Live caches the Twitter handle’s avatar into our system. This means that you may need to occasionally update the Twitter avatar.

You can update a Twitter avatar from the following places:
