We’re excited to share two updates – one available today and one coming soon – that improve how users access and manage metadata in data.world. 

new Now Available: Microsoft Edge Extension for Hoots

Our catalog is now even more accessible with the launch of the data.world Edge Extension, now officially available via the Microsoft Add-on Store!

Just like our Chrome extension, the Edge extension lets users:

    •    Instantly view catalog context while browsing BI tools, applications, and analytics platforms.

    •    Surface lineage, descriptions, and stewardship details for cataloged assets.

    •    Stay in the flow of analysis without switching tabs.

🔧 For IT teams: The Edge extension supports centralized deployment and management using Microsoft’s configuration tools making it easier to roll out across teams. Get started with installation and setup instructions

coming soon June 10: A Simpler Resource Edit Mode

Editing metadata is about to get easier.

We’re introducing a new unified editing experience that brings all editable fields into a single scrollable modal. No more flipping through tabs or guessing where a field lives, the new design mirrors the layout of the Resource Page itself, making it more intuitive and efficient.

What’s improved:

    •    All fields visible at once, organized just like the live resource view.

    •    No more memorizing tab names or bouncing between sections.

    •    Faster editing with a cleaner, more focused interface.

📅 Launch Date: June 10, 2025
