> Frequently asked questions about timing and delays when pushing Databricks description updates from Atlan.

This FAQ answers common questions about timing when Atlan pushes description updates to Databricks. For the setup steps and the full list of what propagates, see [Push description updates to Databricks](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/databricks/push-description-updates-to-databricks/llms.txt).

#### Why did my first description edit not reach Databricks?

Selecting **True** for **Description Reverse Sync** takes a few minutes to take effect. Atlan discards any description edit you make during that window, in the same way that it discards edits made while the control is set to **False**. Those edits don't queue, so they never reach Databricks.

Atlan doesn't notify you when the setting takes effect. Wait 5 to 7 minutes after you select **True**, then edit the description again.

#### How long does one description edit take to reach Databricks?

About five minutes. Atlan checks for new description edits every few minutes rather than pushing each edit at the moment you save it. Atlan pushes every edit, including a single one. Many edits at once can take a little longer to finish.

#### Does editing again fix it?

Yes. Editing the description again pushes the current description to Databricks. You don't need to run a crawl, and you don't need to change the setting again.

#### Why do view and schema descriptions fail when table descriptions sync?

Almost always privileges. In Databricks, the privilege for a comment differs by object type:

- A view comment needs ownership of the view.
- A schema comment needs ownership of the schema, or `MANAGE` on it.
- `MODIFY` covers tables and columns only.

If you granted `MODIFY` on every object, your table and column descriptions reach Databricks while your view and schema descriptions do nothing, and you don't see an error in Atlan. For the full list of privileges, see [Grant permissions to push description updates](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/databricks/set-up-databricks/llms.txt).
