Description

**Describe the content issue**:

Hello. When following [9. Implement per-user authorization](https://docs.amplify.aws/nextjs/start/quickstart/nextjs-app-router-client-components/#9-implement-per-user-authorization) the subscription never updates the items once they are added using the allow.owner() below. If you refresh the page, the items show, so they have definitely been added to the data store.

```
}).authorization(allow => [allow.owner()]),
```

If you change it to the below, the subscription works.

```
.authorization((allow) => [allow.authenticated()])
```

I am not sure what needs to be added/fixed to get this to work but the example in the documentation seems broken.

Research direction

Start with the linked authorization section and compare it with src/pages/[platform]/start/quickstart/nextjs-pages-router/index.mdx. Reproduce the owner-authorized subscription flow, then verify the documentation or example is corrected when newly added items appear without a page refresh.
