Hi, Stephen

Thanks for reaching out to us, and thank you very much for the kind words.

- The table should update the data when linked to the source file, or in your case, XML data...

but you have to refresh the output page to see the updated data....

But if i understand, you mean that you need the table to auto-refresh the page periodically?

-  The auto-refresh feature is only available for server-side table types. ( Such as Manual, SQL query based, or imported tables)

You have an XML-linked table here, so these types of tables are not able to do that if that makes sense?

- For example, you would have to import this data, first to convert it to something like Excel, Google Spreadsheet or CSV file.

Then, you can import the data to create a table in the WP database.... More details about that here.

then the table will become editable, and you can switch server-side functionality ON, and the auto-refresh feature will be available, but you will lose the link/synchronization with the source file.

- Please let me know if anything was not clear or you have more questions. Thanks.
