Just adding on to @Curt's Answer, if the update you made to underlying tables is adding or deleting Data, then the view is auto updated with the new data. If you add or delete the columns form the underlying tables(basically the definition of the View ), then you need to run sp_RefreshView stored procedure to reflect the new schema in your view.
