Syncing Data from Google Sheets
When importing a Spreadsheet into the Canvas, there will be a button for the created Table that allows users to check for updates in the Spreadsheet. If there are any updates found, the system will automatically update the table with the latest data.
Our strategy accounts for:
- Rows Addition/Deletion
- Column Addition/Deletion
- Value Updates in Cells
But, while we offer robust synchronization system, there are some rules to keep in mind to ensure smooth operations and prevent inconsistencies.
Column Reorder
If you move a lot of columns around in your Spreadsheet, our system will treat them as new columns at new positions rather than reordered columns.
Column Renaming
If you rename a column in your Spreadsheet, our system will treat it as a new column at that position rather than a renamed column.
The synchronization doesn't affect the overall structure of the Table in the Canvas. If changes are detected in the Schema and the Table is updated, you will see the correct new order of columns as they appear in the Spreadsheet.
If you need to make significant structural changes, consider re-importing your spreadsheet or contact support for guidance.
