Hi @Marco! You can enable [automatic download](https://docs.getodk.org/collect-settings/#automatic-download) of new versions of forms in Collect's settings. This will force Collect to check for new form versions on the server and download them if they're found.

There is also discussion around changes to this feature [here](https://forum.getodk.org/t/have-collect-exactly-match-the-forms-on-central/23101/12). Please feel free to post feedback if you have any!
