Update imported .psd in LR.

I've have imported .psd file into LR. If I update the .PSD file how do I get it to automatically be reflected in LR.

In essence, nothing changes in LR, only the imported file. I want LR to work like "Placed Link" in PS.

 

Thanks in advance!

That's not how Lightroom works. Once the image has been imported, the cloud copy is what matters and the local copy is redundant. It plays no part in Lightroom anymore, and so an update of this local copy will not show in Lightroom. Send the image from Lightroom to Photoshop if you want to make further edits in Photoshop.
