Note You can switch file types, such as from CSV to XLSX, when the replacement file or sheet matches the DLO schema. The source can also use a different file type as long as another DLO isn’t using it. Confirm that the field names and types match the existing DLO schema.

1. Open the data lake object that uses a Google Drive source.
2. Click **Replace Data**.
3. Select the Google Drive connection that contains the replacement data.
    
    Use the original connection or a different Google Drive connection.
4. Select the replacement file or sheet.
5. Review the fields and sample data, then save your changes.
    
    The DLO and its refresh schedule stay in place.
