# Refresh data and manage sync

Refresh record values, inspect sync status, and review sync events.

Use these controls when existing record values have changed. For new tables or columns, use [Sync schema changes](/user-guide/synced-tables/sync-schema-changes.md).

## Understand the two refresh stages

  A["Original source"] -->|"External sync schedule"| B["Jet Tables"]
  B -->|"Internal updates"| C["App interface"]
```

External updates bring changes from the source into Jet Tables. Internal updates propagate Jet Tables changes to the interface. A current interface does not mean the source was just refreshed.

## Refresh records

1. Open the resource in **Data**.
2. Check whether syncing is **active** or **paused**, and note the last sync time.
3. Use **Sync now** to request a manual refresh.
4. Review the resulting status and last sync time.
5. Reopen a known record and compare its value with the source.

## Check options and events

Open the three-dot menu and select **Sync options** to inspect the connection settings. To change the external sync interval, contact Jet Admin support.

For diagnostics, open **More → View Sync Events** and inspect the relevant event details.

If records still differ, follow [Troubleshoot syncing](/user-guide/synced-tables/troubleshoot-syncing.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.jetadmin.io/user-guide/synced-tables/refresh-data-and-manage-sync.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
