Ok, for the sake of clarity let's make sure we are talking about the same thing: EL tables are created per schema version, so, let's say, table NavigationTiming_1000 is being replicated. An schema version change happens and then there is a new table NavigationTiming_1001 that has couple additional fields but other than that is identical to the prior table.

Will the replication of this second table be automatic or will it need manual intervention?

Should be manual or else we'd be doing something wrong.  The new fields could be anything including private data.
