# Semantic model refreshing

WriteBackExtreme can refresh a **Power BI semantic model** after data has been written back.

To enable this functionality, **Power BI SSO must first be configured**.

#### Setup

1. Ensure **Power BI SSO** is configured ([see *Power BI SSO setup*](/writebackextreme/features/power-bi-extension/authentication/power-bi-sso-setup.md)).
2. Open the **WriteBackExtreme configuration**.
3. Go to **Worksheet-schema -> General** tab
4. In **Refresh options**, select the **datasource (semantic model)** that should be refreshed after writeback operations.

WriteBackExtreme will now trigger a **Power BI dataset refresh using the Power BI API** after changes are submitted.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/writebackextreme/features/power-bi-extension/integration/semantic-model-refreshing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
