Click on the 'Resource' dropdown and 'Manage added data sources' 2. Click 'edit' for the data source you want to refresh 3. In the bottom left, click 'REFRESH FIELDS' I scrunched up the window to show what it looks like. ![refresh a data source in google data studio](https://www.whimpact.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png.png?width=339&height=400&name=image-png.png)  If you're working on a large monitor, this is likely the last place you'd look.   I'm testing out Google Data Studio to perform reporting for a client to summarize our efforts. Right now we have things we are trying to track from Google Analytics, Mailchimp, Buzzshot, Peek Pro, Google Business Profile, and various review sites.   I am familiar with Power BI and Tibco Spotfire for data visualization. I am excited to try Google Data Studio. If anyone has any experience with Google Data Studio, I'd love to hear some game-changing insights!   I hope to share more robust tips/tricks in a future post.
