The templates are such an amazing feature. But often when I try a new one, it looks like there’s a data source associated with it. I start clicking around looking for it, I google for an answers and fine only seemingly out-of-date instructions and training components, then I give up and wish Lucid worked better.
Please someone tell me how to find the existing data source in Lucid Spark, and where to find it in Lucid Chart?

Hi
In general, in Lucidchart you can find any data associated with your diagram in this Data panel at the left of your editor:
All tools to manage this data, including deleting it or replacing it entirely to make the template your own, can be found in the Manage Data menu:
I’ll also note that some special types of diagrams in Lucidchart have separate, feature-specific data management menus which appear in the Contextual panel on the right side of the editor. An example of this is org charts:
In Lucidspark, data is most often associated with the specific shapes or integrations you’re working with. For example, this dynamic progress bar in this template allows me to input data directly:
I understand that there are a lot of possibilities here - I would be glad to provide more specific guidance on the specific templates you’re working with! In general, I can definitively recommend this Start with a template article, this Link data to a Lucidchart document article, and this Visualize your data course as accurate resources on the topic.
