+### **refresh**
+Redraw the covers. You shouldn't ever need to do this unless you are adding
+or removing covers or changing the covers yourself.
+
+When adding covers dynamically, append the new DOM node instead of rewriting
+the coverflow's `innerHTML`. Rewriting `innerHTML` recreates every existing
+node, which clears canvas-based reflections and discards plugin state. Apply
+the reflection plugin to the new cover before refreshing:
+
+```js
+var $cover = $('<img class="cover" src="demo/attic.jpg" alt="">')
+    .appendTo('#preview-coverflow');
+
+if ($.fn.reflect) {
+    $cover.reflect();
+}
+
+$('#preview-coverflow').coverflow('refresh');
+```
