Will Outlook invitations be "automatically" updated?

Will Outlook invitations sent via a Security Group or Distribution Group in ExO be "automatically" updated after I change the members of the group?

Imagine this scenario:
March 4:  I sent an invitation to a group (Alex, Steve, and Lisa) for monthly meetings.
March 10: The existing members (they and I) will hold a meeting without problem.
April 1:  I'll add a new member Emma into the group.
April 10: THE QUESTION

In other words, should I re-send the invitation to the group after April 1?
Or will Emma can expect to receive the invitation (sent on March 4) "automatically"?

Thank you for your help.

    Hi

    Outlook Invitation can be sent to Security group also If your security group is mail-enabled by Exchange Admin.

    Please see the below link, it will answer all your question.

      Hi MD,

      Thank you so much for sharing the article with me.

      I read it and understand "an attendee is listed separately, even though they are also a member of the DL. ... If the attendee is a member of a DL, they are added to the attendee list as an individual attendee. This lets their response be tracked separately."

      That means I'll have to re-send an updated invitation to Emma belonging to the group after April 1.

      Thank you!
