Documenting Data Factory Pipelines

Hi,

While defining documentation aspects on pipelines (mostly from on premise databases to azure synapse via data factory pipelines).
Looking for best practice suggestions on documenting pipelines and synapse sql stored procedures.

My team is currently using a network folder but thinking of using azure devops wiki.

Was wondering if there is some better way to link the pipeline to the corresponding documentation so that you could access it from a link within the data factory graphical modeling UI.

    DevOps Wiki would be good place where you can document the pipeline details manually and provide links to the ADF.

    There is Azure Purview service as well which can help you with data lineage which shows what data is flowing where.
