Can I use my file of smart noticed lrdata on another Mac and then takes over the changes to the original?

LR5 CC user. I tried to use Smart saw for the first time. I followed what appeared to be the best advice but now not sure since most of the functionality of guides working with a single computer and offline files. I'm travelling away from more than a month. I have a Mac Pro with thousands of images. I exported my 'best' 5000 smart insights in a lrdata file to use with my macbook pro laptop on a trip. I took the file lrdata with me on a hard drive. Not the file catalog. Now it seems that I can import these files (by double-clicking the lrdata file) but I'm afraid that if I change them editing will be lost when I return to the original. They have different file names. I'm basically losing the chance to do a touch up? Or is it possible to edit and send them to the original catalogue?

We should not import & edit the preview files smart (the DNG with loss with names like 7/7FB5/7FB580F4-00BB-4C39-8DE5-C09490BA6CB8.dng), instead of the photos they "represent."

But if you do, here's how to transfer settings and/or metadata to preview files smart imported/released to the original photos which you have edited in the first place:

o NOTE: you must import smart previews published directly in your main catalog when you get home (travel catalog import, or save first and just import files xmp - two works in a way).

* Download and install RelativeAntics (free by me) plugin.

To choose "Any Smart Previews" pre-set (in the plugin Manager).

* Select the imported smart preview files.

* Run 'Relative Antics"(menu file-> Plugin Extras).

* Unselect all items of ' Define 'Related' section, * except * "Custom Relative."

* Select whether you want to transfer cause adjustment or metadata...

* and do - this will copy the metadata and settings of the selected imported/edition-smart-preview to the photo that should be edited in the first place (the "related" photo).
