If you want AR visualizations to update automatically, specify a refresh interval in the original dashboard before creating the AR workspace. You'll have to recreate the AR workspace if changes are made after creating the AR workspace.

See Simple XML Reference in the Splunk Enterprise Dashboards and Visualizations manual for more information on specifying a refresh interval.
