Importing Data Model from Excel

I imported a Data Model from Excel into PBI & now I can see all the queries from the original data model in PBI etc

 

When I went back & adjusted the original a query in the original Excel data model (added a column in Power Query) this did not flow through to PBI when refreshed

 

Once you import to PBI do you need to make all query changes through the PBI editor rather than going back to Power Query in Excel?

 

Thanks
