Ownership

Now that you have set your teams in Catalog you can start using it. Wait I haven't done that yet.

Go to your favorite table or dashboard and assign the responsible team as owner!

Comments

Every asset page in Catalog contains a "Comments section".

It's a great place to ask questions if existing definitions do not cover everything.

Keep in mind that you can metion users using the "@" handle.
