View and manage document badges

Set certification badges (endorsed, warning, and deprecated) on workbooks and data models to reflect document status, quality, and reliability.

For example, use badges to indicate stages in the data model lifecycle as follows:

  • Endorsed: The data model is verified, trusted, and meets quality standards.
  • Warning: The data model is outdated, incomplete, or under review.
  • Deprecated: The data model is obsolete or no longer maintained.

This document explains how to view, set, and delete badges on workbooks and data models. For information about adding certification badges to datasets and database tables, see Create and manage datasets and Review and manage your data catalog.

The ability to set or delete a badge requires the following:

  • You must be assigned an account type with the Manage all badges permission enabled.

Badges are visible to any user granted access to the document.
