Download context from an asset page (in preview)

November 12, 2026

Get the governed context of an asset in the format that your tool needs, without opening the context specification. You can copy the output into an AI conversation or save it as a YAML file for a data platform such as Snowflake or Databricks. The output always reflects the current state of the asset and its related assets in Collibra Platform.

Prerequisites

• A context specification exists for the asset type of the asset, or for one of its parent asset types.
• You have the Product rights > Guided Stewardship global permission.

Steps

1. Open the asset page of the asset you want to get context for.
2. Click Actions, and then click Download context.
   The Download context dialog box appears.
3. In the Context specification list, select a context specification.
   The list shows only the context specifications for the asset type of the asset and its parent asset types. If there are none, the list shows No context specifications available.
   Collibra generates the output and shows a read-only preview.
4. Copy or download the output:
   1. To copy the output, click .
   2. To download the output as a YAML file, click Download. The file name is the name of the context specification, with special characters replaced by underscores.
5. Click Close.

If Collibra cannot generate the output, an error message describes the cause. Ask the author of the context specification to edit the mapping, and then try again.
