Current version assumes a page is not changed while you are editing it in zim. However when zim is restarted or when you open a new page it will detect changes. Assuming you work on multiple systems the easiest is to just close zim when you move to another computer. In the case zim was still open hitting "Ctrl R" to reload the page should do the trick. I'm working on active file monitoring, but this is probably 1 to 2 releases out.
