05/25/2023, 2:06 PMHello, when making any change in the connection, such as adding a table, or removing it, it always asks to restore the data, and then it does the sync.
I don't want the sync to start, if I uncheck it so as not to reset the data, can it cause a problem?, or is there any other way?

05/25/2023, 2:07 PMWhen making changes to a connection in Airbyte, it often requires resetting the data. However, resetting the data for every small change might not be ideal. One way to avoid resetting the data is by using the Airbyte API to update sources, destinations, and connections without requiring resets [source](https://airbytehq.slack.com/archives/C021JANJ6TY/p1665430095384689). Keep in mind that some schema changes, like adding or removing columns, might break connections, and you may need to reset the data in those cases [source](https://airbytehq.slack.com/archives/C021JANJ6TY/p1674231762419599). If you uncheck the option to reset the data, it might cause issues if the schema changes are not compatible with the existing data. It's recommended to use the Airbyte API to manage updates without resetting the data whenever possible.
