    If the disks are directly attached or are SMB shares, you can enable real time monitoring and it will just add new content immediately.

    If real time monitoring isn't an option (cloud storage or NFS share), bookmarks wouldn't be sufficient to "one click" refresh, since using the refresh endpoint requires an authorization header. You'd have to use a script to POST to the refresh endpoint with a valid authorization header.

    You can also increase the frequency that the library scan job runs. The default is every 12 hours. Dashboard > Scheduled Tasks > Scan Media Library.

    Change the interval to something smaller? Once an hour?
