Background and automated requests, such as autocomplete (ghost text), quick-fix suggestions, and automatic renaming, are no longer logged as events.

This change took effect on May 7, 2026 and corrects earlier behavior that counted these background requests. Event counts recorded before this date can appear higher than actual user activity, so a decrease in daily events around this time is expected and does not indicate a drop in usage.

The Discover page is now in Public Preview​

June 22, 2026

The Discover page is now in Public Preview. Discover is a curated browsing experience that helps users find data assets governed by Unity Catalog without requiring deep knowledge of catalog hierarchies.
