The goal of the Chrome extension feature is to make the capabilities of Secoda more accessible directly in people's existing workflows.
It's main capabilities include:
Searching, accessing, and editing Secoda metadata directly in tools like Looker, Tableau, Snowflake, BigQuery, and others. See Supported toolsfor the full list.
Accessing and searching resource lineage from within these tools.
Starting conversations with Secoda AI and asking the data team questions from within these tools.
Highlighting text and searching Secoda from anywhere on the web.
Once installed and configured, the Chrome extension will appear as a Secoda icon in the bottom right hand of your screen for easy access within a supported tool.
The first step is to ensure that you have a Secoda account, and that your workspace has connected at least one of the Supported tools below.
Download the Secoda Chrome Extension in the web store using this link.
Click Add to Chrome.
Open the Secoda Chrome Extension and click Authenticate.
Go through the authentication flow in Secoda. Verify that the connection is made in the Chrome Extension settings at https://app.secoda.co/settings/chrome-extension
Once you click into the Secoda icon, you will be able to see the Overview metadata of the resource, the downstream and upstream lineage, as well as a space to start a chat with the AI Assistant. This will allow you to reduce the need to jump from tool to tool, reducing the amount of time spent on workflows.
Access resource metadata in the supported tools to gain context about ownership, descriptions and any other enrichment that you've built out in Secoda.
You also have the ability to edit resources from the extension and push these changes into Secoda.
Your permissions in Secoda will control what metadata you can see and edit when using the extension in other supported tools. For example, viewers in Secoda will not be able to push any edits.
See the upstream and downstream lineage of the resource without having to leave the other tool that you are currently working in. Click into Lineage to see the relationships at different depths, use the provided search bar to search, and access the lineage graph within the Secoda UI.
If you have a question about any resource in your Secoda workspace you can use the universal search to find, access, and understand from any data tool.
Do you have a question about a resource for the AI Assistant or the Data Team? Click on the links in the main page of the Chrome Extension to be redirected to Secoda for asking these questions.
To search for Secoda context for any information from any website:
Highlight the text that you'd like to search for on the page that you're viewing
Right-click, and then select "Search Secoda for '...'"
The Chrome extension will open up a new browser tab with the results for that text.
