To understand how Atlan generates upstream lineage for supported sources, see [What is lineage?](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/catalog/lineage/what-is-lineage/llms.txt).

For Tableau specifically, Atlan also retrieves asset lineage data through the [Tableau APIs](https://tableau.github.io/webdataconnector/docs/).
