You can also survey an asset&#x27;s impact analysis in a snap on the entity sidebar.</p><p align="center"><img loading="lazy" width="80%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/lineage/lineage-tab-v3.png" class="img_ev3q"></p><p>By default, the UI shows the latest version of the lineage. The time picker can be used to filter out edges within the latest version to exclude those that were last updated outside of the time window. Selecting time windows in the patch will not show you historical lineages. It will only filter the view of the latest version of the lineage.</p><p align="center"><img loading="lazy" width="80%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/lineage/lineage-view-v3.png" class="img_ev3q"></p><p>In this example, data flows from between different Snowflake tables orchestrated by dbt into Looker views and explores.</p><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="column-level-lineage">Column Level Lineage<a href="#column-level-lineage" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Column Level Lineage" title="Direct link to Column Level Lineage"></a></h3><p>Column-level lineage <strong>tracks changes and movements for each specific data column.</strong> This approach is often contrasted with table-level lineage, which specifies lineage at the table level. Column lineage can be visualized while viewing table-level
lineage by expanding the columns of tables and hovering or clicking on columns with lineage.</p><p align="center"><img loading="lazy" width="80%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/lineage/column-level-lineage-v3.png" class="img_ev3q"></p><p>If there is column-level lineage to hidden assets or the table-level view is getting too busy,
you can visualize lineage focused on a single column by clicking on the breadcrumb on a column:</p><p align="center"><img loading="lazy" width="80%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/lineage/schema-field-level-lineage-link.png" class="img_ev3q"></p><p align="center"><img loading="lazy" width="80%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/lineage/schema-field-level-lineage.png" class="img_ev3q"></p><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="data-pipeline-lineage">Data Pipeline Lineage<a href="#data-pipeline-lineage" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Data Pipeline Lineage" title="Direct link to Data Pipeline Lineage"></a></h3><p>DataHub also supports visualizing your data pipelines&#x27; task relationships, alongside data lineage. On a data pipeline&#x27;s
entity page, go to the <strong>Lineage</strong> tab to open the visualization. At its center will be the data pipeline node,
represented as a box containing all of its composite tasks. You can click and drag to move each task within the box,
as well as click and drag the data pipeline box itself.</p><p align="center"><img loading="lazy" width="80%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/lineage/dataflow-lineage-tab.png" class="img_ev3q"></p><p>Further, you can leverage DataHub&#x27;s cross-platform lineage to view the upstreams and downstreams of each task.
The number on the expand lineage button represents how many data-dependence upstreams / downstreams the task has.

Data experts are free to add or remove upstream and downstream lineage edges in both the Lineage Visualization screen as well as the Lineage tab on entity pages. Use this feature to supplement automatic lineage extraction or establish important entity relationships in sources that do not support automatic extraction. Editing lineage by hand is supported for Datasets, Charts, Dashboards, and Data Jobs.

It is strongly recommend that lineage is edited manually in cases where lineage information is not also extracted in automated fashion, e.g. by running an ingestion source. If you are going to manually edit lineage for an entity in which lineage is
automatically ingested, see if the appropriate ingestion source supports <code>incremental_lineage</code> and if so, consider enabling
that configuration flag. Note that if you do set this flag, lineage edges that used to exist will not be removed, and so
you may need to use time-based filtering to accurately determine current lineage.</p></div></div><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="api">API<a href="#api" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to API" title="Direct link to API"></a></h3><p>If you are not using a Lineage-support ingestion source, you can programmatically emit lineage edges between entities via API.
