This section covers everything you use to find your way around your dbt™ project and understand how it fits together: browsing and searching files, jumping between definitions, and visualizing model lineage and documentation.

Find your way around

The left icon strip holds the navigation tools. Open a panel with its icon; click again to collapse it. The same icon strip also holds Source Control and GitLens, covered under Commit & Ship.

Understand your models

The Lineage and Catalog tabs in the bottom panel update automatically for the model you have open, based on your current Git branch.

File Explorer

Browse and manage the files in your dbt™ repository.

File Navigation

Jump to any file with the quick open menu.

Search & Replace

Project-wide find and replace with case, whole-word, and regex options.

Go to Definition

Jump to or peek at any model, source, or macro definition.

Lineage

Visualize upstream and downstream dependencies and navigate between models.

Catalog

View and edit model and column documentation, synced back to your .yml files.
