Does multimer prediction takes into account experimental structure published after training?

Description

I am trying to get some predictions of protein-protein complexes.
As "positive" control, I use prediction for a complex for which the cryoEM structure was solved and published in second half of 2022.
When I use colab fold multimer (from ChimeraX software), does the prediction of the structure is using somehow the published structure or is it only relying on the model trained (that does not contain the published structure because it came out after alpha fold multimer)?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the ColabFold multimer workflow and its ChimeraX integration, then determine whether predictions can use structures published after model training. Done would be a documented answer explaining whether the 2022 cryoEM structure can influence the prediction.
