OpenMetadata Chrome Extension

The OpenMetadata Chrome Extension brings your metadata into any tool you’re working in. Instead of switching tabs to look something up in OpenMetadata, you can view an asset’s details directly from your browser.

Installation

  1. Install the Extension: Add the OpenMetadata Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web Store. OpenMetadata Chrome Extension in the Chrome Web Store
  2. Pin to Chrome Browser: Pin the extension to your Chrome toolbar so it’s always one click away. Pinning the OpenMetadata extension in the Chrome toolbar

  • Description
  • Tags and glossary terms
  • Schema
  • Lineage
  • Custom properties and more
