Data lineage has also received a significant boost, now tracing through aggregate tables, measures, and lookups with a cleaner, more user-friendly interface. This improvement enhances data observability and traceability, allowing you to double-click on any object to view it in the main window—a feature that enhances the usability and interactivity of our platform.
