Option to refresh whole model with 'Close and Apply'

A common task is to open an a file, whose data is out of date, in order to make updates to the import code. Once changing the code we need to perform an apply, which refreshes that entire table. Often this means that table is up to date but all of the others are not. So I have to reprocess a full refresh wasting more time. It would be nice to have the option to "Close and apply and refresh all tables"

More support to the idea.

An alternate approach could be prompting the user when s/he selects Refresh (All) with the following:
"The underlying query for $table has changed. Would you like to apply changes?"
