Resolution

The refresh button will be greyed out.  Perform the following:
  • Close Tableau Prep Builder completely.
  • Re-open the specific Flow containing the cloud-based data sources.
  • Re-authenticate when prompted.
  • The data will be refreshed at this point.
The process must be repeated each time the cloud-based data is updated.  

Vote and comment on the Tableau Community Idea to have this option added to a future release.
