Default Re-using compression joints.

I have connected a bathroom tap to the exisiting copper-pipe using a
braided flexi connector with a compression joint.
I need to undo this joint briefly in order to make the connection for
the other tap.

If I undo the joint and then re-tighten it, can I still expect it to
be water tight?
Or do I need to replace the olive?

Mark.
