Edit Semantic Model Refresh button is Missing In Action

I feel like I missed an update announcement, but the Edit Semantic Model refresh button has dissappeared. I'm not sure how I'm going to update my Semantic Model schema to add a column without completely deleting the table. If anyone has a workaround or has seen the refresh button walking around the neighborhood somewhere, please let me know.

Hi @ceschumann ,

 

 According to my tests, the refresh button did disappear, but the model architecture was successfully changed, could you retry it?

 

This is the original model:

Add a column and refresh:

Click on confirm:

Same here. I added a new table to the lakehouse. I don't see it automatically listed ("edit tables") and without the refresh button I cannot proceed as before this change (or bug). Maybe it has latency (?).

From my testing it appears that it was automatically refreshing the schema, however as of this morning the refresh button is back. Regardless I'm going to mark this as problem solved. Thank your everyone for your help.

I thought that as well, that perhaps the refresh was automatic and I could just press save, but that does not appear to be working.

I noticed this yesterday as well.  Thought maybe I was not looking in the right place, but checked my notes and sure enough the refresh is missing.  I though maybe they changed it so you don't have to refresh anymore.
