# [How to Refresh a Data Source in Google Data Studio](https://www.whimpact.co/wh1nsights/how-to-refresh-a-data-source-in-google-data-studio)

The reason I am making this is because it took me longer than I'd care to admit on figuring out how to refresh a data source in Google Data Studio.

 

## Here's how to refresh your data source in Data Studio:

1. 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.

 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.
