# Lineage

> Paradime Lineage Preview: Visualize data lineage in dbt™ projects. Track data flow and dependencies easily.

export const Arcade = ({src, title}) => <div style={{
  position: 'relative',
  paddingBottom: 'calc(56.2225% + 41px)',
  height: 0,
  width: '100%'
}}>
    <iframe src={src} title={title} frameBorder="0" loading="lazy" allow="clipboard-write" allowFullScreen style={{
  position: 'absolute',
  top: 0,
  left: 0,
  width: '100%',
  height: '100%',
  colorScheme: 'light'
}} />
  </div>;

The Lineage Preview in Paradime IDE helps you visualize and navigate your dbt™ model dependencies while developing. The lineage is based on your current git branch and updates automatically as you work.

### How it works

Click the Lineage Tab in the Command Panel. Here you can:

* View immediate model dependencies (+1/-1)
* Navigate to referenced models
* Expand to see full lineage graph
* Track dependency changes as you develop

<Arcade src="https://demo.arcade.software/SapNkFhSsRmkGiZ7nX5C?embed&embed_mobile=tab&embed_desktop=inline&show_copy_link=true" title="Lineage" />

### Viewing Lineage Dependencies

1. Open any dbt™ model in the editor
2. Click the Lineage tab in the command panel
3. Review your model's immediate dependencies
4. Optional: Update the number of visible upstream and downstream dependencies (+1/-1). To view all upstream and downstream dependencies, simply replace fields with "+"
5. Optional: Click the expand icon to view the full lineage graph

<Info>
  The lineage updates automatically when:

  * you edit dependencies and commit your changes.
  * Change the .sql file currently open in your editor.&#x20;
