What to expect

Once your Hex account is successfully connected, Metaplane will sync and automatically derive lineage from warehouse tables/columns to Hex projects. You will be able to see your Hex lineage on your monitor pages and in your slack alerts. Metaplane will also create metrics to track views over time for each project.

Lineage is powered via Hex query comments seen over the last 21 days. If your projects SQL cell hasn't run in the past 21 days, we may not be able to derive lineage.
