### Remarks

Call this method from the main thread. Call it only if auto-tick is set to false. If a ChannelClient is set to [IsAutoTick](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/mpe/channelclient/isautotick.md), Unity ticks it automatically in [EditorApplication.update](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/editorapplication/update.md).
