Refresh on Dataflows using your own Azure datalake

Hello,
 
I have a very simple question. If i setup a Dataflow using my own Datalake do i need to schedule the refresh?
 
Just to be more specific If I create a Data flow with the following options:
 
Attach a Common Data Model folder (preview)
 
is there a need to refresh the Dataflow? Or i just change the CDM and the dataflow will reflect the changes?
 
Thank you so much

    The solution is Yes, you need to set schedule refresh. However, the schedule refresh is refreshing the change of the datasources that are added to the dataflow. In fact, Attach a Common Data Model folder as dataflow is just change the entities in the dataflow, you still need to refresh the data.

      Thank you for your reply!

       

      I will add files to my CDM folders and change the data through Azure Data Factory.

       

      Why do i need to refresh? Will the refresh copy the my CDM folders Data to Azure Datalake managed by Microsoft?

       

      Thank you so much
