💫 What’s Improved?
A Smoother, Smarter Way to Request Access
We’ve made a series of improvements to access request workflows, making them faster and more intuitive. With auto-filled titles and smart auto-skipping, requesting access to resources—or creating new ones—has never been easier. These updates reduce friction, minimize manual steps, and ensure a seamless, consumer-grade experience for enterprise users.
This is part of our ongoing commitment to refining the user experience to feel simple and intuitive.
🔮 What’s Next?
✨ Resource Page Redesign – A New Era of Usability
We’ve completely reimagined the Resource Details Page to make navigating and understanding data assets easier than ever. With an intuitive new layout, edit history, improved summaries and layout, finding the information you need will feel effortless. We’ve also made everything quicker—quicker access to lineage, quicker metadata edits with inline editing, and quicker ways to explore related data with more configuration, filtering and sorting options. The result? A night-and-day improvement in user experience that will feel simple yet smart.
Very soon, this redesign will be available in Public Preview, giving end-users the opportunity to opt-in and experience the new workflow before full rollout.
💬 Meet Archie Chat – Your AI-Powered Data Assistant
Navigating your data catalog just got smarter. Archie Chat (soon in Public Preview Beta) brings an AI-powered, business-context-aware chat experience to your platform, answering questions instantly, reducing friction, and improving adoption. Instead of digging through documentation, catalog admins can now ask “How do I bulk edit metadata?” and get an immediate, actionable response. Data consumers can type natural language questions like “Is ‘Occupation’ a sensitive data type?” or “What does TMA stand for?” and get more precise answers sourced from the context of your data catalog.
Archie Chat is launching in beta, free for a limited-time, so be among the first of our customers to explore this game-changing feature! If you aren't already an Archie-enabled customer, reach out to your customer service manager to find out how you can be ready to try Archie Chat when it releases.
