# Reload Data (from app)

With this feature, when you make a change directly to your Notion database, you can reload data from your apps instead of the app builder. 

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is exclusively available for paid users and applies only to [private apps](https://docs.notionapps.com/users/private-apps).
{% endhint %}

#### Steps to Enable the Reload Data Button in Your Apps

1. **Access the App Builder**: Start by heading to the app builder on NotionApps. 
2. **Navigate to Settings**: In the left sidebar of the app builder, click on the "Settings" tab.
3. **Enable Manual Data Reload**: Under the "Settings" section, find the "Manual Data Reload" label. Toggle the switch to "Enable". This step activates the manual data reload feature for your app.

4. **Publish Your App**: Once you've enabled manual data reload, ensure you publish the app. This makes the updated app available for your users.

#### Accessing the "Reload Data" Button

After publishing your app, you will now find a "Reload Data" button in your app. This button will allow your users to pull in the latest data from your databases.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Keep in mind that when you reload data through the app, any structural changes made to your databases won't be automatically reconciled. This feature is focused on just pulling the latest "data" in your pages and rows. If you need to add or remove properties, it's recommended to use the ["Reload Data" option](https://docs.notionapps.com/basics/reload-data-from-app-builder) within the app builder.
