Does virtual table update when I add a column to the external table source?

I have a Dataverse virtual table that is linked to a SharePoint list. Along the way, we needed to add a column to the SharePoint list source. This new column does not yet appear in the Dataverse virtual table. I'm working in PowerApps and I REALLY don't want to have to remove all the dependencies, delete the virtual table, then recreate it, then rewire it to all up again.

 

How do changes to the external schema make there way into the Dataverse virtual table?

    Thank you! This is so silly. I spent ages trying to figure this out and I nearly just deleted it and started again....

    Answered my own question. 

     

    If you repeat the steps for "New... Table from external data" and point to the same external source, it refreshes the schema.
