# BigQuery Data Quality Studio

> **Overview:**
> Monitor the quality of your BigQuery assets in Atlan using BigQuery's native capabilities. This integration lets you create rules, track metrics, and view data quality insights directly within Atlan's discovery, lineage, and data products.

## Get started

Follow these steps to set up BigQuery as your data quality studio:

- [Set up BigQuery](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/data-quality/set-up-bigquery/llms.txt)
- [Enable data quality on a connection](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/data-quality/bigquery-how-tos-enable-data-quality/llms.txt)

## Known limitations

- **Single region support**: BigQuery DQS currently supports a single region only. The DQS dataset must be created in the same location as the tables you want to monitor. All tables governed by DQS must be in the same region.
- **Columns inside array of struct not supported**: Data Quality Studio doesn't support columns that are nested inside an array of struct (`ARRAY>`). You can't create data quality rules for these nested struct fields. For example, if you have a column defined as `orders ARRAY>`, you can't create rules for the `order_id` or `amount` fields within the array.
