Upgrade StorageFeature Request: Auto-update(refresh) PDF file in Zotero pdf viewer
PDF readers such as Sumatra PDF on Windows, or Skim/Preview on macOS can be triggered to refresh the PDF files once it is changed elsewhere.
Many Zotero users use cloud-based drives/WebDAV to store and sync their linked PDF files across devices. Meanwhile, users like me use GoodNote/Notability on iPad to annotate PDFs by hand, meanwhile typing more formalized notes in Zotero for desktop.
Therefore, it would be nice if:
1. Zotero could auto-refresh the PDF files once the files are changed externally.
2. If auto-refresh is hard to implement, it would also be nice if you could provide a hotkey or a click button to reload the pdf.

As of now, I am closing the pdf, and going back to the collection to open it again. It opens again in the correct place, and even maintain the notes and highlighting, but it's a bit tedious, when simple F5 hit could do the job.
