Hello,

Is there a way to add documentation inside of Azure Data Factory, kind of like a modification log?

Hi @Michael Stoler ,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your query. 

Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to add documentation inside of Azure Data Factory (ADF) in the form of a modification log.

However, there are a few workarounds that you can use to achieve this functionality:

1. You can use Azure DevOps to manage your Data Factory pipelines and store your documentation in the wiki section of your DevOps project. This way, you can keep track of changes made to your pipelines and store relevant documentation in one place.
2. Another option is to use Azure Blob Storage to store your documentation files and link them to your Data Factory pipelines. You can create a pipeline that reads the documentation files from Blob Storage and sends them to a destination of your choice, such as an email or a Teams channel.

Appreciate if you could share the feedback on our feedback channel. Which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product teams to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with.
