Have been using an Excel file as a datasource for years.  
When I update data in Glide the data should sync to Excel.  
However, if I make a change and then refresh builder after a few mins the old data shows up.  
Tried the manual sync.  
Turned on Extra sync mode.

What else?

Do you see a 1035 error in your data view?

I don’t.

It should show up directly when you’re trying to sync.

A 1035 error in Glide typically indicates that the platform is unable to access or reload your connected data source, such as an Excel or Google Sheet. This can happen if the sheet has been moved, deleted, or if the Glide account no longer has permission to access it.

No error.

Everything else works fine. Manual sync runs.  
Just a refresh shows cached/previous data.

Even after several mins.

I would try clearing the browser’s cache to see if it helps.
