Do collaborators automatically have access to new documents in shared content?

When I add new documents to a folder, do my collaborators who have access automatically receive access to the new documents? I notice there's a pop up box that has the option to send to them for review, but I just want to know they have an updated folder with the new documents. Thanks.

    Hey RaeDeen, welcome to our Community!

    I think it's important to ask how you've shared the content with them. 

    Have you shared a link with them, or directly added them to be part of a shared file/folder? If you've tried something different, don't hesitate to let me know.

    Keep in mind that if you've added them to be part of a shared folder, then they would automatically be able to view any changes there.

    Let me know of any updates!
