Answer 1

When you press the refresh button clear the tableData array and assign to table set data function before you fill your table again. So it will empty your table first and than fill new refreshed data.

Like this,

refreshBtn.addEventListener('click', function() {
    tableData = [];
    table.setData(tableData);
    loadTutoriales();
});
