To access a file’s Data Lineage Graph,
Locate the file in the Green Room or Core File Explorer.
Click the Action icon (three dots) beside the file, then click Properties and open the Data Lineage Graph.
Hover over the graph icons to explore the points in the Data lineage graph. Displayed nodes include both upstream (past events) and downstream (later events). A node that displays “. . .”, signifies there’s more to see. Click the node to expand the rest of the graph.
