One of the easiest ways to curate metadata is to pull all the information you need into a csv file so you work quickly in a spreadsheet, then make updates in bulk by importing information. You can now do this in Microsoft Purview.


 


Right now, you can only export one asset type at a time, and this only works for business assets. We plan to offer import and export for data assets in the future.
