Unselecting the background data setting just means that previews will be computed on demand, whenever you select a given query/step, instead of being computed in the background for all queries/steps.

Hello&nbsp;Ehren&nbsp;Is there a way to stop downloading the preview unless user explicitliy refresh the preview?&nbsp;

ehren · Answer

No, there isn't. Can you describe your scenario a bit more? I'm curious why you're wanting this behavior.

Hello&nbsp;Ehren, Someone from team accidently deleted the data from datasource (dataverse).&nbsp;As i have not refreshed the data since last week, just wanted to get the same. As preview gets downloaded, not able to get the data(without transformation).

Hm. I'm not sure there's much you can do in that case. Your options would be:Re-populate the data sourceTemporarily point your queries at a different source that has the same schema
