Summary

Adds a short section to the Data apps guide explaining how data app tiles behave when added to a dashboard, including dashboard filters, the refresh button, and permissions.

Changes

  • New "Adding an app to a dashboard" subsection in guides/data-apps.mdx
  • Notes that the dashboard refresh button reloads the data app tile and bypasses the warehouse cache, matching chart tile behavior
  • Links to the existing canViewDataApps reference for embedded dashboards

Context

Source PR: lightdash/lightdash#23430 — the dashboard refresh button previously re-ran chart queries but left embedded data app tiles untouched. It now reloads the data app iframe and forwards the cache-invalidation flag so the app's queries re-run against fresh data.

Feels redundant. I would expect it to work like this, hence I treated it like a bug fix.

We'll have a dedicated caching section a bit later.
