How to update tags on device from Calibre?

[Stu Segal]

I have several hundred books, and want to re-tag them in Calibre.

Once I do, how do I get the new updated tags onto my device? (Android tablet)

Thanks . . . Stu

the devices (reader app) rules prevail.

Some require you to remove the book to allow a resend.

I use Calibre Companion in Wireless device mode. It will synch the CC view (but the book will not have the latest internal metadata. for that, you need to send again.)
Then, if you were reading, the book may be cached by the reading app so that even if CC had the latest, you are still presented with the stale version

@Stu Segal I too use Calibre Companion to manage my books on my android tablet. Simply connecting my tablet to calibre via Calibre Companion updates all metadata so the view in Calibre Companion reflects the view (cover, tags etc...) in calibre.

If I'm reading the book I don't care if metadata is embedded in the book. My tablet is not the backup of my library books.
