Will raco make recognize changes?

I haven't used raco make before and I'm not sure what to expect. Does it recognize that a compiled file has changed and use the new version instead of the compiled one? If so, how?

I went through the Guide and the raco docs and didn't see an answer, but maybe I'm simply being cheesebrained. Instructions to RTFM and a pointer to the correct FM section welcome.

raco make compiles the relevant file and all its dependencies. It will automatically compile any out-of-date files.
