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.

In Felt, select the layer you want to refresh
