Hi powerbiexpert22​ - Detect Data Changes is an optional optimization within Incremental Refresh that checks whether the maximum value of a specified Date/Time column has changed for each eligible partition. If the value remains unchanged, Power BI can skip refreshing that partition, reducing unnecessary data processing and improving refresh efficiency.

Hope this helps.
