# Overview of Data Assets

> Navigate data asset tabs for schema, lineage, profiling, and usage insights in a unified, user-friendly interface.

## Overview of Data Assets

Every data asset in Collate has a dedicated detail page that gives you a complete picture of that asset — from schema and sample data to lineage, data quality, and governance.

The **top panel** shows key metadata at a glance:

* **Source** — the connected data service
* **Owner** — team or user responsible for the asset
* **Tier** — data criticality level
* **Type** — asset type (Table, Topic, Dashboard, etc.)
* **Usage** — query and access frequency
* **Description** — what the asset contains and how it's used

## Data Asset Tabs

Tabs vary depending on the type of data asset. The table below shows which tabs are available for each asset type.
