Bidirectional metadata sync
Atlan supports bidirectional metadata synchronization with AWS SageMaker Unified Studio (SMUS). This enables you to update asset descriptions in Atlan and have those changes reflected back in SMUS.
Supported assets and metadata
Bidirectional sync is currently supported for descriptions only on the following SMUS asset types:
| Asset type | Metadata field |
|---|---|
| Projects | Description |
| Published Assets | Description |
| Published Asset Columns | Description |
How it works
When you update a description for a supported asset type in the Atlan UI, the Atlan reverse sync pipeline detects the change and propagates it back to AWS SMUS source. This keeps descriptions synchronized between Atlan and SMUS without manual intervention.
Limitations
- Descriptions only: Bidirectional sync is limited to description fields. Other metadata fields are crawled from SMUS but not synced back.
- Supported assets only: Only Projects, Published Assets, and Published Asset Columns support reverse sync.
