About technical lineage viewer interfaces

Collibra Data Lineage provides two user interfaces for visualizing the technical journey of your data, the latest technical lineage UI and the classic technical lineage UI.

Latest technical lineage viewer UI

The latest technical lineage UI is designed for high performance and complex data landscapes. It emphasizes clarity and scalability, allowing you to navigate thousands of lineage objects without losing context.

This is the recommended interface for all users starting with Collibra Platform 2026.02. To use the latest technical lineage viewer UI, enable the New Techlin UI setting.

The latest technical lineage UI includes the following enhancements:

  • A cleaner, more intuitive interface with improved grouping and filtering.
  • Smooth navigation from high-level overviews down to column-level transformation logic, with integrated source code visibility.

When using the latest technical lineage viewer UI, synchronization might take longer than usual because both the classic and latest technical lineage graphs are generated. To ensure optimal performance, you can trigger the sync job via the Technical Lineage Admin capability.

 

Classic technical lineage viewer UI

The classic experience remains available to support continuity for long-time users and specific legacy workflows.

Use the classic experience if your organization relies on custom workflows built around the legacy interface or while transitioning teams to the latest GA experience.
