Unified lineage gives you a complete view of how your data objects are connected. Use
it to understand data journeys, dependencies, and the downstream impact of changes such as
applying tags or updating objects
Unified lineage is a visual relationship graph that shows how your data objects are
connected. It provides visibility into how data moves across sources, transformations, and
activations so you can trace dependencies, audit governance, and assess impact before making
changes.
Unified lineage is automatically available in all customer orgs and no setup is required.
When enabled, a background job collects lineage for all existing objects. Subsequent updates
are captured incrementally as new objects are created or modified.

Data Lineage Best Practices Applying these best practices helps maintain consistent data visibility and governance alignment across your organization.
Use Unified Lineage Explore and interact with the lineage graph to view how your data objects connect. Search for objects, trace upstream and downstream dependencies, and use side-panel details, field-level views, and tag overlays to understand your data flow and governance context.
