I created a table in a Lucidchart document and linked a datasheet to it.  The data displayed as desired. However, when I update the data in the datasheet or create a new datasheet, the graphic is not updating.  What am I missing?

Hi ​@DBLAN 

When your Lucidchart table doesn't update after changes to the linked datasheet, it's likely related to how the data is connected or refreshed.

Only live data sources like Google Sheets support automatic syncing, updating every 30 seconds or with a manual refresh. If you uploaded a static file CSV, Excel, updates in the original don’t sync automatically—you must re-upload to trigger updates.
