PSD File Transfer to Lightroom Mobile

I'm a new subscriber to Lightroom CC.  Recently I edited a photo in Lightroom, then sent it to Photoshop for a few extra edits, and finally returned it to Lightroom. The file now has a *.PSD extension.  What do I have to do to have this file link to Lightroom Mobile through the Creative Cloud?  As it stands now, the file links to Lightroom mobile, but it lacks the edits that I made in Photoshop.  Since I plan on showing off my pictures though Lightroom mobile on my iPad, this is something that I want to resolve.

Thanks,

Rob

    You do not need to export it as a JPEG. Just ensure the PSD or TIFF is in Lightroom, then add the PSD or TIFF to a collection that is synced to LR Mobile.

    It sounds like you have the raw file in a synced collection, which is why you aren't seeing the edits done in Photoshop.

    Export that PSD as a JPG, Add it to the catalog and then link it to LR Mobile.

    Thanks for the answer.  I assume that it would work with a TIFF file as well, which I will try.
