### Hi,

I have a page that I am converting from polling my Xano table for updates to real-time. Once I got the real-time to work, I disabled the collection fetches both from the page and app but they are still being called and I can’t figure out from where.

I’m even seeing a collection User Info that is not even included in any of the workflows being called.

Would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks

Steve

Hey Steve,

Can you go to the `User info` collection and open the `Advanced` accordion inside the `Fetch data` step:

If `Fetch this collection automatically` is enabled, it could explain why the collection is being fetched even when it’s not called in a workflow. You’ll find more info on how collections are loaded [here](https://docs.weweb.io/data/intro-to-collections.html#optimize-collection-load).
