I’m using the JSON actually to cache my groups. But I thought everytime you make changes locally and push up you have to manually go into the backend and click to refresh the group (circle arrow icon)?

GROUP (truncated example):

if( function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group') ):

acf_add_local_field_group(array(
    'key' => 'group_597a31e9a49bd2',
    'title' => 'Settings (New)',
    'fields' => array(
        array(
