Stub Zone updates

Can someone explain the differences and when to use each of the following please regarding stub zone updates ?

Reload - Reloads from local storage of DNS server

Transfer from master - Determines whether serial number in stub zones SOA has expired

Reload from master - Performs a zone transfer from stub zones master regardless of the serial number in the stub zones SOA Resource record

All seems the same to me. Thanks :D

    Reload reloads the stub zone from the local DNS server's disk on which the stub zone resides.

    Transfer from master - is like a regular periodic transfer but manual. The DNS server with the stub zone will only request a zone transfer from the master server when the serial number on the master server increased (i.o.w. only when something changes/when there are updates)

    Reload from master - The DNS server with the stub zone ignores the serial number and performs a zone transfer from the master server.
