Hi,

Current Skim always asks below before auto reload, when documentHasEdits == YES.

The PDF file has changed on disk. If you reload, your changes will be lost. Do you want to reload this document now?

I think it would be nice if there is a hidden option for auto reload even if documentHasEdits == YES.
It would be useful, if users follow below workflow (embed annotations to PDF and reload. currently users must allow reloading every time).

    No, we don't do that, as it can lead to data loss, without the user having any say. See (many) earlier discussions.
