How does Reload button extension work under the hood? Data is loaded but changes are not saved

Hi everybody!

The following applies to published apps in the stream in Qlik Sense Enterprise:

I'm trying to understand what happens when user clicks on the reload button - I see js file for this extension but I still don't understand how it works with APIs: which tasks and how are sent to the engine? I feel I miss something in my knowledges.

Actually, this question popped up because I have the following problem: I added reload button extension to the QS Enterprise so that users could reload published application. I've seen a lot of discussions about problems of work of this extension in published applications but I didn't meet the situation I have: user (in the published app) clicks on the button, reload is completed, data is loaded, but new loaded data is not saved when user closes app and then opens it again. I'm trying to understand why reload task works (from the stream) but saving changes doesn't happen - maybe I should make some changes in js file for this extension or find some workaround.

Thank you for your time, have a good day!
