I assume you mean refreshing the dashboard/visualization they are using, not the data.

Kibana doesn't check if other people have updated an open document, though it sounds like an interesting feature. Perhaps you could write a plugin that does something like this.

For most use cases it would be incredibly disruptive to refresh whenever there is a change, but if your users are only viewing "static" dashboards and won't lose any of their changes when the page refreshes I imagine it would be nice to automatically refresh them when changes are available

You would need to write a plugin that kept track of which objects were in use, then polled elasticsearch somehow to know when they are changed. On change you could trigger a refresh.
