Can we get a refresh for each section we have so it doesn’t refresh the whole thing? I mean refreshing 6TB when you only added a simple movie to the NAS is anoying

It already exists.

Go into the section. In the upper right corner, below where you see settings, you see the circular arrow. This updates the library only. It’s been that way for a long time
