Clicking one opens the raw rows behind that metric value, the same way [View underlying data](/get-started/exploring-data/exploring-your-content#view-underlying-data) works in an explore. Results respect the user's permissions, user attributes, and row-level filters. + +If you want this in your app, ask the agent for it - for example, _"add a 'View underlying data' button to each row in the revenue table"_. The agent uses the same query the chart or table is built from, so the drill-down lines up with what's on screen. + ### Refreshing the preview The preview header has a **Refresh** button that reloads the app's iframe and re-runs every metric query against the warehouse, without starting a new build. Use it when you've changed something in your semantic layer (for example, pushed a dbt update) and want to see the new results in the running preview.
