Are we supposed to update the docker-compose.yml file when upgrading?

I read the Upgrading guide (https://immich.app/docs/install/upgrading/) and it only mentions updating the images (at least I think so). However, I saw that the
docker-compose.yml
docker-compose.yml
file has been updated in recent releases, yet the guide doesn't mention anything about having to download and use the new docker compose file (or environment file). Are we supposed to first update to the new docker file and then run
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
(after checking for breaking changes first of course)?

Also, I'm using Portainer to manage my immich instance. I know that I can press "Update the stack" in the Editor for the immich instance. Does anybody know if that's equivalent to doing
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
?
