Keep your maps current with Felt's dynamic data updating options. Whether you've uploaded files, connected via URL, or integrated with cloud data sources, you can refresh your layers to reflect the latest information while preserving your styling and configuration. Set up automated refreshes for live data sources or manually update when needed to ensure your spatial visualizations always represent the most current data.

URL connected layers

  • Click the option to Refresh at the bottom left

  • Wait for the processing to complete (you'll see a loading indicator)

  • Your map will update automatically with the new data

Tip: When importing a Google Sheet, toggle on the Live option during import to stay in synch with updates for a quick and easy database powered map.

File uploaded layers

  • Download the updated file to your computer

  • Click the option to Upload new version at the bottom left

  • Select your updated file

  • Wait for the processing to complete

  • Your map will display the refreshed data

Configuring live layers

  • For on-demand updates: click on the Refresh button at the bottom of the data menu

  • For automatic updates: turn the Live toggle ON and select a cadence from the dropdown

Tip: You can always find the source URL for a live layer in the Data tab.
