Is there a way to have the editor reload the latest version?
I would like to always have the latest version of a document updated in an editor. Is there a way to keep the document up to date or refresh it with the latest version without manually closing it and reopening it?

Yes, depending on the editor. Notepad++, for example, has the setting File Status Auto-Detection, giving the user a choice of ignoring changes to any opened file (there may be multiple, since it has a tabbed interface), of being notified of the change, of updating silently, and even scrolling directly to the last line after the update.
Other editors or word processors such as LibreOffice Writer use pessimistic transaction control, i.e. file locking, to prevent modification while the file is open for editing. [LibreOffice does have a Collaboration option, but documents must be merged after editing.]
