Rename, rotate and delete a Data Source
10 November 2026
- In the Data Studio, a Data Source you manage shows Edit, Replace connection string and Delete. See Keep a Data Source current.
- Edit changes its name and the description the agent reads before it queries.
- Replace connection string takes the whole connection string again, for example with a new password, and its CA certificate if it has one. The old one stays until the new one passes its connection test.
- Delete says what happens first: Cards in Conversations stay readable, Cards on Dashboards show “Data Source deleted”, and its Query Log is deleted.
- Each of these changes is recorded in the Audit Log, never with the connection string. A user who leaves your Tenant loses their access to Data Sources; the Data Sources stay.
