I'm going to stop Saving to Disk because I want to keep the raw files where and as they are and only use Calibre to Send to Device.

Given the above, when would I need to polish the books?

What changes to Preferences would warrant polishing books? I'm still learning to use the Import/Export templates and plugboards.
Look at Polishes options.
Do you desire any of those?

Do you wish to embed new metadata into the Library copy (Send to device will update the export)?
