Database Restore - Reimporting Images Clarification

First of all, thanks so much for this amazing app. Really appreciate the effort that has gone into it.

Recently I was updating to 1.33.1 and went through the process of upgrading my PG image. Unfortunately, my DB mounts weren't set up correctly in docker and I lost my Immich DB, leading me to restore from an old 2023 backup. I've gone through the migration process with a rollback to 1.107.2 along the way (which was an interesting learning experience) and finally have immich all up to date. Unfortunately I no longer have any images from 2024-2025 showing in the GUI, which makes sense. The files are all still in the library folders though.

tldr; Is there any way to rescan my library without going via CLI or external libraries? It feels messy to move everything out of the library folder and re-import when it's already in the right spot.
