Explanation

A data refresh indicator (such as a 'Last Updated' timestamp or data refresh log) in the report documentation allows analysts and users to verify that the data pipeline ran successfully before the report was published. If the warehouse failed to update, the refresh timestamp would immediately flag that the data is stale. A version number (A) tracks report design changes, not data currency. An FAQ tab (C) answers user questions but won't detect pipeline failures. A summary (D) describes report content but doesn't validate data freshness.
