What can you sync back to BigQuery ?

Within our BigQuery Sync back feature, you can push back a description to your tables and columns in BigQuery

1. Write as many descriptions as you want into Catalog

2. Request a Sync back to BigQuery in your Settings >> Integration tab

3. Once notified that the Sync back succeeded, your comments are updated in BigQuery

What happens if a descriptions already exists in BigQuery ?

• Catalog will not overwrite any existing description

• You can write and store another description in Catalog however

  • Once you decide to delete the existing description in BigQuery, a Sync back will be able to push the description you wrote in Catalog to BigQuery!

Do I need to provide additional access?

The level of permission of the existing integration remains unchanged.
