Calibre-server scan for changes?

Hello, I recently set up the server version on Ubuntu.
Works great!
One problem I have is the server not updating on it's own. I'll explain, I still have the Windows version which I use to add books to my library 'sometimes'. What I do is edit the epub metadata on a Windows PC, then I'll use the save PC to add the books to Calibre. I don't always have to edit the metadata so I also add those books right in the server.
The books added through Windows don't show in the server library (yes, it's the same physical location on both) unless, and until, I restart the server service.
I've been through the documentation as best I can but I can't see an option to "scan for changes" of the library (like Plex for example).
Is there a way to have the server automatically update when the library is changed?
