Concerns About Auto Update and Credit Loss in New User Experience

·Jun 27, 2025 09:29 PM·

One feature I DON'T love (as a new user) is the auto update. I brought in 1000 lines of poropsects and was experimenting with Twain for the first 10 lines. Made the mistake of going to previous columns to check things out and it AUTO UPDATED, BLOWING THROUGH 300+ CREDITS SUPER QUICKLY THAT ARE NOW USELESS...

To prevent auto-update from using credits too quickly: 1. Turn off auto-update while experimenting: • Click the three dots next to your table name • Select "Auto-Update Columns" to disable it • Or click the auto-update icon at the bottom right and select "Turn Off Table" 2. Always test with a small sample (about 10 rows) before running enrichments on your full dataset 3. Only turn auto-update back on when your table setup is finalized and you're ready to start enriching new entries
