Hey joshfree, thanks for posting on our Community!
When it comes to your first concern, you're right - you'll just need to give the desktop app enough time to sync those changes until it shows 'up to date' in your menu bar.

Let me know if you have any other questions, Josh.

If there is a better way to handle this that you're aware of, please let me know. Thank you again!

I can't think of a better way to achieve this to be honest, Josh.
I'll leave this thread open though, in case another user has something additional to offer.
