Auto Refresh App data

I have created some sales reports on PowerBI Desktop and would like to share them with management via the online PowerBI App.  If I share this data will it auto refresh so that it is continuiously live?  The data is being pulled from a SQL Database that auto updates in PowerBI Desktop.  Or is there another way that the data can be viewed by colleagues and always be live?

I have created reports in PowerBI Desktop that is pulling data from a SQL Server.  If I post the reports to PowerBI App online so that it can be shared amongst colleagues will it auto refresh the data so that it is always current?  Or is there a way that I can build these reports and share so that they can always be viewed as live data reports?
