Synchronize ThoughtSpot (private preview)

Synchronizing ThoughtSpot is the process of importing and updating metadata from your ThoughtSpot tenant into Collibra Platform.

The integration automatically creates or updates metadata objects as assets in the Data Catalog based on the defined operating model.

You can synchronize manually or automate the process by adding a synchronization schedule.
