Extract Data and Cut off Connection
Hi Anonymous,
As we know, If the connection type is import. Once finished, all of the data are stroed on-promise. You can refer to the blog what makes up a pbix. If you refresh the data in Power BI desktop manually, Then you need connect to the data source once again.

Hello, thank you for taking the time.
I understand that logically data should be stored on-premise and there won't be any connection to the database until I attempt refresh. However, if I try to edit my query and the database is affected in some way (locked etc.) I cannot access the data.
I don't understand how this could be, since after the import the data should just be available to me regardless of the data source as long as I don't refresh...
