Sample Data Data Governance
Use the Sample Data page to preview a representative sample of rows from a catalog asset. Sampling helps validate schema, content, and masking without exporting data.

Preview sample rows
Review a limited set of rows rendered with column-level masking applied. Confirm that sensitive fields are obfuscated according to security policies.
Inspect content and format
Validate that data content and formatting match expectations. Identify unexpected values, encoding issues, or structural anomalies.
