OneLake catalog overview

OneLake catalog is a centralized place that helps you find, explore, and use the Fabric items you need, and govern the data you own. The catalog is embedded in Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Copilot Studio, so users can discover and act on items directly from these applications. It features three tabs:

  • Explore tab: The Explore tab has an items list with an in-context item details view that makes it possible to browse through and explore items without losing your list context. It also provides selectors and filters to narrow down and focus the list, making it easier to find what you need. By default, the OneLake catalog opens on the Explore tab. Along with the OneLake catalog, you can open and work across multiple workspaces side by side using the object explorer.

  • Govern tab: The Govern tab provides insights that help you understand the governance posture of all the data you own in Fabric. It presents recommended actions you can take to improve the governance status of your data.

  • Secure tab: The Secure tab centralizes security management in Microsoft Fabric by providing a unified view of workspace roles and OneLake security roles across items. It enables admins to audit permissions, view user access, and create, edit, or delete security roles from a single location, ensuring streamlined governance and consistent enforcement of data access policies.
