Most of the time no but depending on the change it can require a resave of the file (ie Open the .por file put a space in the name and then remove space and then save file). But HL has a feature in it called "Tools->Prepare Portfolio" for distribution that can do that for you and is able to automatically do all the .por/.stock files in a folder.

Yea not sure. But its pretty simple you go to the "Portfolio" option and then do "Import portfolio" or something like that. That would combine multiple .por files into a single .por. Once you do this for say all the "A" monsters you would change the ending from .por to a .stock file.

Then it goes into the programData\HeroLab\data\d20 folder to allow the Encounter Builder to read it.
