The Discover page is a curated browsing experience for your organization to discover data assets and insights in Azure Databricks. Discover has an intuitive interface that showcases your assets and insights without requiring deep technical knowledge of catalog hierarchies. Consumers browse assets organized by domains and subdomains, search for data, and explore AI-recommended assets.
Personas
The Discover page supports two personas:
- Curators: Create and manage domains, assign assets to them, and customize the Discover page and domain pages. For Pages, a curator can edit, publish, and manage any Page in a domain. To create and manage domains, see Domains and subdomains.
- Consumers: Use the Discover page to find curated assets organized by domain or asset type, and explore AI-recommended assets. For Pages, a consumer can create and publish Pages, and view, comment on, and suggest edits to published Pages in a domain they can access. See Steps for consumers.
What is Databricks Discover?
Databricks Discover is a centralized discovery page that enables:
- Browse by domains, a business-aligned organization layer where curators organize data assets (for example, tables, dashboards, and Genie Agents) and business terminology and concepts (Pages) to meet business needs.
- Custom curation capabilities where curators can customize and highlight specific assets in their organization or domain.
- AI-powered recommendations to surface popular and valuable datasets to enable curation at scale.
- Unified discovery experience across tables, dashboards, queries, notebooks, and more.
To create and manage domains and customize the Discover page, see Domains and subdomains.

Steps for consumers
Browse by domain
Click a card under Browse by domain.
You can now see the assets in the domain.
Browse by subdomain
If a domain has subdomains, a Subdomains section appears on the domain page. Click a subdomain card to filter the domain's assets down to that subdomain. Assets in a subdomain also appear on the parent domain page. Subdomains narrow the view; they do not hide assets from the parent.
In global search, the Domain filter includes both domains and subdomains, so you can scope results to a specific subdomain the same way you scope to a domain. When search results include an asset that belongs to a subdomain, the asset's domain and subdomain membership is shown on the result.
Browse by asset type
On the Discover page, scroll down to view different sections by asset type, such as Dashboards and Tables.
Click View all under any asset type to browse all assets of that type, including Certified assets and Assets suggested by AI.

This feature is in Beta. Account admins can control access to this feature from the account console Previews page. See Manage Azure Databricks previews.
If your organization uses Pages, Pages that define business concepts appear in a Pages section on the Discover page and on each domain page.
From here, you filter results to a particular domain or subdomain, or use the search bar to look for a specific Page. Click into any Page to read its definition, structured fields, and any related assets or sources. Anyone with access to the parent domain can comment on or suggest edits to a published Page.
To learn how to author Pages and how Genie One uses them, see Pages.
