This should actually go to the org-mode mailing list ...

did you (save and) try

| revert-buffer is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
| `files.el'.
|
| It is bound to <menu-bar> <file> <revert-buffer>.
|
| (revert-buffer &optional IGNORE-AUTO NOCONFIRM PRESERVE-MODES)
|
| Replace current buffer text with the text of the visited file on
| disk. This undoes all changes since the file was visited or saved.
| With a prefix argument, offer to revert from latest auto-save file,
| if that is more recent than the visited file.
|
| This command also implements an interface for special buffers that
| contain text which doesn't come from a file, but reflects some other
| data instead (e.g. Dired buffers, `buffer-list' buffers). This is
| done via the variable `revert-buffer-function'. In these cases, it
| should reconstruct the buffer contents from the appropriate data.
