  1. open an office file in Nextcloud Office (Collabora) web interface
  2. click export to pdf
  3. close office file
  4. why is my pdf not shown, I just exported it!
  5. reload page
  6. ahh, there is my pdf!

Describe the solution you'd like
pdf should be visible right after I close the office document, so: update file list after closing Nextcloud Office document

Maybe also a more general solution: immediately push file creation/deletion to all existing open browser tabs/windows (always, not only when closing an office file)

Research direction

Start with the Nextcloud Office web interface flow: export a document to PDF, then close the office document and observe the file list. Trace how the list is refreshed after closing and define done as the exported PDF appearing without a page reload; the broader cross-tab file creation/deletion behavior is an optional scope to clarify.
