 When exporting data from InfluxDB to an Iceberg table, keep the following considerations and limitations in mind:
 
+- **Export controls limited to InfluxData**: You can't export or refresh data to Iceberg format independently. The InfluxData Support Team handles set up of the initial export and subsequently handles all data refreshes.
+  Submit a request to the [InfluxData Support team](https://support.influxdata.com) to:
+    - Update your Snowflake tables with new or changed data
+    - Check the status of a snapshot export
 - **Exported data is read-only**: Tables created through this integration are _read-only_. You cannot write directly to these tables using Snowflake or any other engine.
 - **Data consistency**: Ensure that the exported data in the Iceberg table is consistent with the source data in InfluxDB.
 - **Performance**: Query performance may vary based on data size and query complexity.
 - **Feature support**: Some advanced features of InfluxDB may not be fully supported in Snowflake through Iceberg integration.
