You can’t share data from the client to the server, the server will always render before the client so by the time the client component start rendering, server components are already rendered.
Also, re-render of a client component doesn’t not trigger a re-render in the server ones, in fact, server components can re-render (I’m referring to a typical re-rendering due a state change).
If you want the server component to update with the latest data you could first persist the user data to a database inside a server action, and after that, trigger a revalidation within the same server action to indicate React to send the updated HTML output from the server, effectively to “update the RSC” with the latest data

when I click on a button it create a new user so I want to get that user and then add it to the table for example a crm when i add a new customer it should be rendered into the page within the table.

make the data a prop to the client component from the server component
you can revalidate data in the server component and refetch
using revalidatePath/revalidateTag
@Scaly-naped Pigeon is there a guide i can check , not sure how to do this.
Must be in the Server Action docs. Idk of you’re familiar with Server Actions as a concept in Next.js. If not, start by understanding what they are
