 ## Unified Data Catalog
 
 > Use the Microsoft Purview Unified Catalog to automatically register and view metadata for Fabric items. This helps users discover datasets, semantic models, and reports with full lineage and context. Ensure metadata scanning is enabled across all Fabric workspaces.
 
 > [!IMPORTANT]
->
 > - **Admins** can configure scanning policies and permissions in the **Microsoft Purview governance portal**. <br/>
 > - Ensure that **Fabric is registered as a data source** in Purview. <br/>
 > - Use **role-based access control (RBAC)** to manage who can view or edit catalog metadata.
