FAQ

No. Tables are read-only. To change data, edit it in your database, or ask chat to propose a change on a data source that supports approved writes.
Yes, tables query your data source when you open them and load 100 rows at a time as you scroll. If query caching is on, you may see cached results first. Use Refresh data to query again.
Yes. Open Copy or export data in the table’s footer and export as CSV, JSON, Excel, or Markdown. Exports keep your filters, sorting, and column order, use fresh data, and include up to 1,000,000 rows.
If it’s new, click Sync schema at the top of the table list. It may also be hidden, or an admin may have limited your access. See Troubleshooting.
No. The Data page and table exports are for admins and members. View-only members can open charts and dashboards that are shared with them.
