September 2026

We've rolled out a set of improvements to make exploring your data lineage faster, clearer, and more reliable.

Faster, Smoother Navigation
Navigating lineage  — even large, complex ones — is now noticeably smoother. We've resolved lingering glitches that could still crop up during navigation, building on our earlier performance work.

Smarter Glossary & Dictionary Exploration
We've refined how glossary and dictionary terms are explored within lineage, making it easier to trace definitions and related concepts without losing your place.

More Reliable Tooltips
Tooltips now appear in the right place, stay visible when you need them, and no longer disappear or linger unexpectedly.

Consistent Interactions
The "Remove Exploration" button, path tracker, and "Explore Object" button now behave consistently every time, so your exploration flow stays predictable.

1. Blink has always drawn on your catalog, but now it leads with it — putting descriptions and custom fields from your own objects front and center when answering "what is X?" questions. If a catalog entry is thin or empty, Blink says so directly rather than quietly filling the gap with general knowledge — and when it does add general context, that's now clearly separated under its own heading. Blink also no longer guesses at implementation details, like which table an indicator comes from, unless it was actually confirmed it.
2. Blink stays on-topic, too: off-catalog questions now get a short, honest redirect instead of a generic answer, and text inside catalog objects — descriptions, comments, tasks — is treated strictly as content to report on, never as instructions to follow.
3. And it's more reliable. Blink now applies module filters properly, recovers from transient errors on its own, and reports any parts it genuinely couldn't retrieve. Failed conversations are now flagged for monitoring instead of looking like successes, Blink no longer guesses names from partial email addresses. The result: answers you can trust more, that fail less often, and that fail loudly when they do.
