Looker Studio is an excellent tool to present your dashboard, but you need to know when your data is being served and how to refresh it !

By default, Looker Studio uses a cache system, so you do not always have the freshest data.

Looker Studio report last update ?

You can check at the bottom left of the report page, in view mode, to see the last refresh date and time. If it does not match the last time you refresh the page, then Looker Studio serves the data from the cache.

How to refresh your Looker Studio report and avoid the cache ?

Open your report, at the top right corner, click on the 3 dots. Then clicks on Refresh Data.

This refreshes the cache for every data source that is added to the report, forcing it to request fresh data to its connector.

Refresh your data in your Looker Studio report

Each connector has its own rules for data freshness, so you should ask your connector providers.

For Catchr, each connector is live, so every time you hit the Refresh data button, you always get the freshest data.
