The Lineage tab in the Code IDE tracing the TEAM_BASE column from the teams source through stg_f1_sqlserver__teams, with the lens strip, depth controls, Tour button, edge legend, and minimap
The Lineage tab in the Code IDE bottom panel used to be a separate graph that stopped at the model. It is now the same column-level canvas the Catalog uses, running against your development branch, with the depth controls, node-type filter, legend, and minimap that come with it.
  • Click any column on any card to trace where that value comes from and where it goes, without leaving the editor. The trace runs against your development catalog, so it reflects the branch you are working on.
  • Click a card’s model name to open that model’s file in the editor.
  • Lenses are on the canvas now, as a layer strip rather than a menu: one icon per lens, filled when applied, with its name and description on hover. Your selection is remembered between sessions.
  • A new lens, “Only this column’s path”, strips the graph to the cards the traced value actually flows through and refits the view. Everything the column does not touch leaves the canvas. The walk follows column-to-column edges only, so an edge ending at a dataset no longer drags unrelated models onto the path.
  • A guided tour of the canvas is one click away from the Tour button in the lineage bar, in both the editor and the Catalog.
Because both surfaces now render the same component, they cannot drift apart: a lens or control added to one appears in the other. Large graphs got faster with it, with a thousand-node graph going from a roughly 900ms freeze on every interaction to an instant relayout. See Lineage in the Code IDE and Column-level lineage.
