There is a refresh button next to the "Clear" button of the filter
entry.

Refresh the symbol library. Copies of the symbol within the schematic
page won't be updated until you save and reload the page.

(I'd suggest "File->Save" and then "Page->Revert" as a quick way to do
this for a large number of components).

There is "Edit->Update Component" (shortcut "ep"), however I'm not sure
if this works with non-embedded symbols. Its main use is to update an
embedded symbol to match a newer version on disk.

Great! Nice to see people taking advantage of the latest code.
