[**Performance improvements to Google Sheets widgets**](/content/updates/97/index.html)

We’ve upgraded our [Google Sheets data source](/content/product/data-sources/google-sheets/index.html), making it a whole lot easier to keep your Google-Sheet-powered widgets up to date. First and foremost, we’ve changed the way we pull in data from a Google Sheet; instead of automatically updating every 15 minutes as before, each widget will now update within three minutes of a change to your spreadsheet.

This applies to all Google Sheets widgets, apart from those that rely on pivot tables or IMPORT functions, such as [IMPORTDATA](https://support.geckoboard.com/en/articles/6055677-use-google-sheets-importdata-function-to-display-online-data-in-geckoboard). Those will continue to refresh every 15 minutes, however it’s now no longer necessary to use a script or other workaround to get these to work in Geckoboard. Just set up your widget the way you want it and our automatic refresh will do the rest!
