Simply paste your API key into Looker Studio when prompted. After that, you'll see a dropdown menu showing all the sites linked to your Plausible account.``` |

You can select one or more of your Plausible sites to create a custom report. Simply tick the box next to each site that you want to include data for. | ||
|
||
At this stage, you can check to "**Allow "Plausible Site(s)" to be modified in reports**". This option is something Looker Studio presents by default. It enables you to have a report with a drop-down to toggle your Plausible site(s) directly in the report. Not checking this box would disable that ability. |

At this stage, you can check to "**Allow "Plausible Site(s)" to be modified in reports**". This default option in Looker Studio lets you add a dropdown in your report to switch between your Plausible sites. If you don’t check it, you won’t have this feature. |

You also have the ability to choose whether or not you want to constantly pull data in real-time by checking the "**Data Refreshed in Real-time**" box. Looker Studio does not refresh automatically but what this does is it will force Looker Studio to pull fresh data whenever you make a change to your report, say changing the order of a table or adding new metrics. |
