I know I can go read, or experiment, but I'll ask anyway - does Immich gracefully handle changes to the external library after the initial import?

Edit - after posting I realised I'm not talking about an external library, but I hope my question makes sense?

I use it for my photos, but I have no specific needs - android app and desktop browser work for me. I'm looking to move my wife's photos over but she needs R/W access to the photos on desktop (probably via a SMB share) for Photoshop etc. Can Immich handle that?

Immich has an administrative function to re-scan a library’s files. You could probably schedule it, too.
