Applying edits to full raw files after editing smaller files on mobile device

I used Lightroom Mobile to edit several collections that I imported to my iPad.  I only realized later that I was editing lower rez versions because of the import settings on my Fuji camera.  Is there a quick way to reapply the same edits to the full raw file?

I'm not sure what you mean by "import settings on my Fuji camera", NickL-G. If you imported from your memory card to your iPad, then imported those into LR mobile, then LR should have imported the full res files, uploaded those to the cloud, and then replaced what's in LR mobile with smaller smart previews. The edits that you do with smart previews will automatically be applied to the full size files in LR Desktop.

Thank you Laura for taking the time. The reason they're not the full sized files is that there is a Fuji mobile app that allows me to transfer the files over wifi directly from my camera to the tablet or phone, so that I don't have to carry a memory card reader for the iPad. This app has settings that dictate the size of the file that is transferred. This is the reason the the edits were not applied to the full sized raw files. So, there are no full sized files yet for LR desktop to apply these changes to. I have the full sized ones though, of course.

Thanks for the explanation. in LR mobile you can copy settings from one photo to another. In Edit view, click on the three dots in the top right, choose Copy Settings, then select your other photo and choose Paste Settings. This can also be done on LR on your desktop.
