# Settings → Data

Pane for app-level data switches. The sync manual is [Reload and sync](https://docs.notionapps.com/databases/reload-and-sync). This page does not become a second sync book.

## What this is / when to use it

Data settings are the few toggles that apply to **the whole app**: whether end users may refresh, default auto-sync participation, and links into Databases.

## Before you start

Databases are already linked.

## Build it

1. Open **Settings → Data**.
2. Confirm the linked database list (or jump to Databases).
3. Set any app-wide refresh / cache switches the pane shows.
4. For per-database sync, leave this pane and use the sync manual.

## Every control

| Control               | What it does                                                                                                                                                |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Linked databases list | Shortcut to [Manage linked databases](https://docs.notionapps.com/databases/manage-linked-databases).                                                       |
| App-wide refresh      | Default for end-user reload when screens inherit it.                                                                                                        |
| Cache / offline notes | PWA may cache chrome; row freshness still follows sync. See [Add To Home Screen](https://docs.notionapps.com/workspace-and-account/add-to-home-screen-pwa). |

## What users see

Only what you enabled (a reload button, fresher rows). They do not see this pane.

## Limits and plans

Meters: databases, pages, properties, blocks, file uploads, two-way sync frequency. [Plans](https://docs.notionapps.com/plans-and-entitlements).

## Example

Turn on app-wide “allow reload” so every list can show a refresh control, then disable it on a public catalogue screen.

## Fix problems

Data stopped syncing: troubleshooting page + sync manual, not this short pane.
