Autoscan - Because plex wont be on the file server anymore I had a problem with partial updates. It cant see when they are made. Autoscan connects to your downloader (Sonarr, Radarr) and tells plex to update when needed.

AutoScan - If you use radarr or sonarr this creates an artificial Partial Scan. It will only scan stuff updated by those programs instead of a full scan
