Power Query Documentation: Change Source Files

Hi guys,

I'm trying to look for some documentation/articles addressing the changes in source files and the fact the if the structure of the files is exactly the same, Power Query will automatically apply the same previous data transformations to the new files.

But I can't seem to find anything to confirm... by any chance someone could point me to a good direction?

 

Many thanks!
