How can I tell if my dataflow is using DirectQuery or Import mode?

Hello all, I just managed to create my first dataflow connected to my first Azure SQL database. Very exciting. 

 

My question is, how can I tell if it is using DirectQuery or using Import mode? If import mode, where is the data actually stored?

 

Thank you.

 

 

 

  • Dataflows are by definition always in Import Mode. Data is stored in the azure cloud, attributed to your workspace and capacity.
