If a notebook is open in Observable Desktop and the notebook file is contemporaneously edited and saved in another editor (eg. Zed), a subsequent refresh inside of Observable Desktop will still show the old contents, and edits inside Observable desktop will overwrite the external edits.
It would be nice if changes from the outside were reflected in the Observable Desktop editor.
For example, if a notebook consists of
<!doctype html>
<notebook theme="air">
<title>Untitled</title>
<script id="1" type="text/markdown">
# Untitled
</script>
</notebook>and I externally change it to
<!doctype html>
<notebook theme="air">
<title>Titled</title>
<script id="1" type="text/markdown">
# Titled
</script>
</notebook>then refresh (cmd+R) in Observable Desktop, I continue to see "Untitled", and any subsequent edits in the Observable Desktop editor will overwrite the edited file.
