Static Group to Smart Group

I currently have policies and configs pointing to a static group.  I'd like to start using a smart group in place of it.   If I add all my devices to the new smart group and start pointing the policies and configs to it, will it redeploy everything?  I've added a few test devices to the new smart group (with criteria) and have not noticed any changes and do not get the prompt to push to only newly assigned devices, etc.  The logs also do not show any activity.   Just want to hear other peoples findings.   Thanks

@KV1 Changing to a Smart Group for scoping a policy should not re-trigger the policy on devices it has already run on if the policy isn't already running repeatedly (e.g. if you had the frequency set to ongoing but hadn't established a Scope exclusion that prevented repeated running).

The prompt to push to all or only newly scoped targets is specific to Configuration Profiles.
