Update your Flickr, Facebook, and SmugMug albums

As your Flickr, Facebook, and SmugMug albums grow, you can publish them at any time. Aperture checks to see which photo versions have already been published in the album and then uploads any changed or new versions. You can also have Aperture check to see whether any of your friends have published new albums to your accounts online.
