Description
If you edit a tile that is included in a Collection of Images tileset using an external image editing program, it won't be updated within Tiled. However, if you edit a tile that is part of a tileset Based on a Tileset Image, it will be updated within Tiled (although this seems to not be 100% reliable. At certain points, it will stop updating unless you either close/open the level, or close/open Tiled. I'm not so sure of the repro case for this part of the issue or the fix case)
In order to have a tile updated that's part of a Collection of Images tileset, you first have to close and re-open the level, and then it'll reflect the changes.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with a Collection of Images tileset and an externally edited tile, then compare it with a tileset based on a Tileset Image. Done means external edits appear in Tiled without closing and reopening the level, with the behavior verified for both tileset types.
