Managing Data Tables: Handling Filter Criteria Updates

·Nov 21, 2025 12:12 PM·

Clay S. I’m creating a main Clay table and separating the data into different tables based on the filter criteria. Once I load the data into each table and later change the filter criteria, the old data that no longer matches the updated criteria will not be removed automatically from those tables.

You're right - when you change filter criteria in a source, Clay doesn't automatically remove old data that no longer matches. This is expected behavior because Clay doesn't reprocess previously generated data automatically. [1]
To see your updated results with the new filter criteria, you'll need to either delete and re-run the step that generated the data, or duplicate the table with the updated source.
