Turn off auto-update to prevent cells from running automatically when you add data. Go to Run Settings and toggle off the Auto-Update button for individual columns, or click the three dots next to your table name and select "Auto-Update Columns" to disable it for the entire table. You can also click the Auto-update icon at the bottom right of your table and select Turn Off Table to stop all automatic enrichments. Once your table setup is complete and you're ready to run enrichments, you can turn auto-update back on.
