# Paradime Refresh Catalog

> Refresh your Paradime Data Catalog on-demand with the Paradime Refresh Catalog command. Update catalog metadata immediately after data changes without waiting for the overnight refresh.

### Overview

The Paradime Refresh Catalog command allows you to update your [Data Catalog](/products/data-catalog/index) metadata on-demand by running `dbt docs generate` whenever needed. This eliminates the need to wait for the scheduled overnight refresh that typically occurs between 2-3 AM UTC.

</Warning>

### When to Use

The Paradime Refresh Catalog command is valuable when:

* **New tables are added**: After creating new tables in your data warehouse
* **Schema changes occur**: When table structures or column definitions are modified
* **After production deployments**: Following the completion of production jobs (ex. `dbt run`) that modify your data warehouse schema

### How to Configure Catalog Refresh

1. From the Bolt UI, select **Paradime Refresh Catalog** as your command
2. Configure your desired [trigger type](/products/bolt/creating-schedules/trigger-types) (ex. scheduled run, on run completion, etc.)
3. Deploy your schedule

<Info>
  **Note**: Users have full control over when catalog refreshes occur - whether every hour, multiple times per day, or triggered by specific job completions.
