Install and set up browser extension

The Atlan browser extension brings metadata context directly into your data tools. You can see descriptions, owners, lineage, and more without leaving the tool you're already in. It works in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • An Atlan account with access to your workspace.
  • Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based browsers only).

Install extension​

You can install the extension from the Chrome Web Store or from your Atlan profile.

  1. Go to the Atlan extension page on the Chrome Web Store.

  2. Click Add to Chrome. For Microsoft Edge, follow the steps in Add an extension to Microsoft Edge from the Chrome Web Store.

  3. When prompted, click Add extension to confirm.

Configure extension​

After installing the extension, connect it to your Atlan workspace.

  1. Click the Atlan icon in your browser toolbar to open the extension.

  2. In the Options page, enter your Atlan workspace URL, for example:

    mycompany.atlan.com

  3. Click Get started. After a successful connection, the message Updated successfully appears.

You're now ready to use the extension. See Use Atlan browser extension.

(Optional) Add custom domains for data tools​

If any of your data tools are hosted on custom domains rather than their standard SaaS URLs, add them so the extension can recognize those pages.

  1. In the Options page, click Configure custom domains at the bottom.

  2. In the dropdown on the left, select your data tool.

  3. In the field on the right, enter the custom domain for that tool, for example:

    dbt Cloud: https://dbc-00.cloud.databricks.com

  4. Repeat for each tool hosted on a custom domain, then click Save.

info

If your Atlan admin has already preconfigured custom domains for your organization, you won't be able to update or remove those entries. Click + Add to configure custom domains for additional tools.
