P: Ability link RAW files to smart preview from disk

I would like the ability to upload raw (or any original file) to my iPad and link them to the already existing smart previews. Currently the only way to do this is to delete the smart previews entirely and then upload the raw or original file. Or, to drag and drop from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom Desktop and wait for the sync.

 

Usually I need this feature in order to work remotely where I might not have access to high speed internet. Obviously this is not contusive to uploading hundreds large files. If I could do this directly from the iPad disk or better yet an external drive in would be very helpful.

There is a much better way to work remotely on your iPad without an internet connection. First, add each image to at least one album. While you do have an internet connection, tap the three dots behind the name of an album and choose 'Store Locally'. That will store smart previews of all the photos in the album on the device and makes it possible to edit images without an internet connection.
