## Transcript

**Joseph Stritesky**

[0:05] Yeah, being similar to what Anna said too, like being able to see that lineage from all the way down to the source level. I know a lot of our engineers really being able to see like that feature. And then similar to what I kind of opened up with too, that just having the, being able to edit the metadata in the catalog and just like the help features.

[0:27] You can talk to support or I previously said too, they have the, I guess, Atlan University, where you can see like all the help videos and a high-level overview for new users to get like a more in-depth kind of experience for the, the maybe some of the users that haven't had or even worked in any kind of a catalog before, so.
