Status changes, yes.
The function of adding or deleting objects from the map is not avaliable to the
read-only maps. For example, a collection with the rule: (isRouter=True &&
(IP Status = "Critical" || IP Status = "Marginal")) will cause routers to be
placed into and removed from the collection depending on their status.
You will see the nodes appear and dissappear from the collection in the
read write map, but not the read-only map. Their color will change, but
routers that were not critical or marginal when the read-only map was opened,
will not appear on the map for the collection if their status changes to critcal
or marginal.
You cannot delete objects from the read-only map. Objects added to the map will
not appear on the read-only copy until the map is refreshed.

If they are all the same view, you are right.
