# Column-Level Lineage Diff for ThoughtSpot

> See which ThoughtSpot worksheets, answers, and liveboards are impacted by a dbt™ pull request so you can review changes before they reach production.

This feature provides a comprehensive impact analysis of dbt™ changes on your ThoughtSpot environment. When you open a pull request (PR) in your dbt™ project, you can visualize the downstream effects of your changes across various ThoughtSpot assets.

### Key Benefits:

1. Identify which dbt™ model changes are impacting your ThoughtSpot assets.
2. Proactively communicate which ThoughtSpot worksheets and calculated columns are affected by your dbt™ changes before going into production.
3. Discover which Liveboards (dashboards) and Answers (saved questions) might be impacted by the changes.

### Prerequisites:

1. Complete [Lineage Diff setup prerequisites](/products/bolt/ci-cd/lineage-diff/index#setup-instructions)
2. Connect ThoughtSpot to Paradime via the [Thoughtspot integration](/integrations/thoughtspot)

## How to Use

When a PR is opened in GitHub, an automated comment is generated listing all downstream ThoughtSpot nodes (Worksheets, Answers, Liveboards, etc.) that would be impacted.

Using the links available in the "ThoughtSpot Nodes Impacted" section, you can confidently investigate each node within ThoughtSpot before merging the PR changes into production.
