How do Smart Folders update when opened?

• A. Manually
• B. On Startup
• C. Dynamically updates every time opened
• D. They do not update

Answer: (C)

Smart Folders are live, dynamic queries rather than static lists. They are defined by a set of criteria, and when you open one, the system re-runs that query against the current data. This means the contents reflect any changes since the last time you opened it: new items that now match appear, and items that no longer match disappear. Because of this automatic, on-access refresh, they update every time you open them. It’s not about a manual refresh, nor about updating only at startup; the results are regenerated each time you open the folder.
