How can I update the PowerBi semantic model schema when I make changes to the source structure?

Hi, 

In Microsoft Fabric, I initially created a schema in a warehouse.

I use this warehouse to create a report using PowerBi Desktop. From this point on, I can no longer see the schema changes I make in the warehouse. If I add a column to a dw table, I can't see it in the PowerBI model.
Is this normal?
How can I update the PowerBi semantic model schema when I make changes to the source structure?
What's more, even when I delete the table from the semantic model, and add it again, I get back exactly the same structure as before, without the new column...

 

Thanks for your help

    Hi Greg_Deckler , 

    Thanks for your answer.

    I don't know if this will solve the problem, but in the "Home" tab of dw Fabric, in the "Settings" menu, you can change the default model settings.

     

     

    And activate automatic synchro.

     


    I've yet to test it.

    amolt Been struggling with this as well. The default model was supposed to be able to sync with the lakehouse, keeping it up-to-date with changes made. Used to be turned on by default. Now it seems like the default is the opposite, it is turned off. But now I can't even find the option any longer to keep the two in sync. Frustrating.

      amolt Ah, I found it again. You go to the settings for the default SQL Analytics Endpoint and enable syncing the default semantic model.
