+# Autopilot Application
+
+The **Autopilot Application** simplifies and accelerates the onboarding of new data services by automatically deploying and triggering essential ingestion workflows.  
+With minimal input—just the service connection details—Autopilot sets up the entire metadata ingestion process using well-defined defaults.
+
+## Overview
+
+Autopilot is designed to help users get started quickly with metadata ingestion for newly added services by automating:
+
+- **Metadata ingestion**
+- **Lineage extraction**
+- **Usage statistics collection**
+
+> **Note:**  
+> Workflows like **Profiler** and **Auto Classification** are created but not run automatically, allowing teams to review and selectively execute them based on resource and cost considerations.
+
+## Key Benefits
+
+- **Fast Setup:** Start ingesting metadata by simply defining the connection.
+- **Automated Deployment:** Automatically configures and deploys ingestion workflows.
+- **Editable Configurations:** All generated workflows can be reviewed and updated later.
+- **Integrated Insights:** Service insights are immediately available post-ingestion, highlighting areas that need further enrichment.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Navigate to **Settings > Applications**.
+2. Click **Add Apps** and select **Autopilot** from the marketplace.

+
+3. Click **Install**.
+
+{% image
+src="/images/v1.7/applications/autopilot1.png"
+alt="Install Autopilot"
+caption="Install Autopilot"
+/%}
+
+## Configuration
+
+Once installed, configure the application by filling in the following fields:
+
+| Parameter            | Description |
+|:----------------------|:------------|
+| **Application Type**  | Set to `AutoPilotAppConfig`. |
+| **Active**            | Enable to activate the workflow for the selected service. |
+| **Service Entity Link** | Link the service for which the ingestion workflows should be triggered. |
+
+{% image
+src="/images/v1.7/applications/autopilot2.png"
+alt="Configuration"
+caption="Configuration"
+/%}
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Define Connection:**  
+   Create a new service (e.g., Snowflake) and test the connection.
+
+2. **Apply Filters:**  
+   Add filter sets that will be inherited by all workflows.
+
+3. **Autopilot Activation:**  
+   Once configured, Autopilot deploys and runs the following workflows:
+   - Metadata Ingestion
+   - Usage
+   - Lineage
+
+4. **Selective Execution:**  
+   Profiler and Auto Classification workflows are created but not executed automatically, giving you control over profiling scope and cost.
+
+## Post-Ingestion Insights
+
+After the initial run:
+
+- Navigate to **Service Insights** to view KPIs such as:
+  - Description coverage
+  - PII detection
+  - Data asset tiers
+
+- Use the insights to identify areas that need enrichment—e.g., tagging, ownership, documentation.

+# Reverse Metadata Application
+
+The **Reverse Metadata Application** enables seamless synchronization of metadata updates made in **Collate** back to the original data sources.  
+This ensures that Collate remains the single source of truth for metadata while maintaining consistency across platforms and reinforcing governance policies.
+
+## Overview
+
+With this application, you can automatically propagate metadata changes such as:
+
+- **Descriptions**
+- **Owners**
+- **Tags** (e.g., PII-sensitive classifications)
+
+These updates are pushed directly to supported data source systems, including **Snowflake**, enabling real-time enforcement of data governance controls such as masking policies.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Automated Metadata Propagation:**  
+  Sync metadata updates (tags, owners, descriptions) from Collate to source systems without manual intervention.
+
+- **Configurable Channels:**  
+  Define multiple sync channels to target different services, asset types, or metadata types.
+
+- **Custom SQL Templates:**  
+  Use SQL templates to customize update behavior per connector.
+
+- **On-Demand or Scheduled Execution:**  
+  Run synchronization workflows manually or on a predefined schedule.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Navigate to **Settings > Applications**.
+
+{% image
+src="/images/v1.7/applications/autopilot.png"
+alt="Install Reverse Metadata Application"
+caption="Install Reverse Metadata Application"
+/%}
+
+2. Click **Add Apps** and install the **Reverse Metadata Application**.
+3. After installation, configure the synchronization channels as described below.
+
+{% image
+src="/images/v1.7/applications/reverse/reverse-metadata-application.png"
+alt="Configuration"
+caption="Configuration"
+/%}
+
+## Channel Configuration
+
+Each sync process is managed through a **channel**.  
+You can define multiple channels for different services or metadata types.
+
+| Field              | Description |
+|:--------------------|:------------|
+| **Channel Name**     | A name for identifying the sync channel. |
+| **Filter**           | Use the UI Query Filter Builder to define the scope of the metadata updates. You can filter by properties such as service, schema, database, owner, domain, or custom attributes. |
+| **Update Descriptions** | Enable to sync updated entity descriptions from Collate to the source. |
+| **Update Owners**    | Enable to sync owner assignments from Collate. |
+| **Update Tags**      | Enable to sync tag assignments (e.g., PII) to the source system. |
+| **SQL Template**     | Optional. Specify a custom SQL template for updates. |
+
+## Execution
+
+Once the configuration is complete, the application can be executed in two ways:
+
+- **Run Now:**  
+  For manual execution.
+
+- **Scheduled Run:**  
+  For recurring, automated sync based on a defined schedule.
