Files not uploading

Question

I have been trying to upload files to a workflow (from both my computer as well as the library). The files are recognized, and the dialog box previews the files, however the file does not pass through the workflow. Some of my students are encountering the same issue. Any issues with the input tool?

This is another inconsistency of Alteryx One which is the Datasets.  When you upload files to it (whether new files or update to existing files), they often do not display correctly/immediately.  This makes development time on Designer Cloud (or other AO products) delayed as there is no "Run" button to force the flow to reload the data.  I have had several instances when my flow will run and it uses old/overwritten data vs pulling the new file from the Dataset it is connected to.

Haven't been able to get/find an answer for how to make sure data that is showing as updated in the Datasets section is what is used in the flow, whether in dev or prod use.

This causes issues when trying to setup completely autonomous processes (data extracted and uploaded to Dataset, Designer scheduled run with output used to update AAI missions).

thanks all - the issue was resolved a day later. Still don't know what was happening that day - but some accounts managed to load data and some did not.

@dreldrel As a heads up, there is no Browse tool in designer cloud, but I would do the same thing if this is Desktop!
