What you describe sounds as though it should work. Some reasons it
might not:
- You have an error in the new material. This would normally be
indicated at the bottom of the *.tex screen by a console message and
some messages under the "Errors, warnings, badboxes" tab. I believe you
usually get an updated display if there's nothing worse than a warning,
but errors stop the process and need to be fixed. A successful run will
have something like this at the end:
Output written on main.pdf (251 pages, 2976685 bytes).
SyncTeX written on main.synctex.gz.
Transcript written on main.log.
- On Windows (and other platforms?), I think your PDF file is locked
by some viewers, so you can't update it until you close them. I don't
think this happens if you're only using the internal TeXWorks viewer,
but I seem to recall that Acrobat Reader would lock it.
If neither of those is the issue, I think you'll need to give us more
detail.
