Sync or Import Table and Column Descriptions for Existing Nodes

When working with existing Nodes in Coalesce, you may need to sync or import table and column descriptions from your data platform. There are several ways to accomplish this depending on your workflow and requirements.

Enable Column Resync on Node Types​

You can add column resync functionality to existing Node types by modifying the Node definition to include isColumnResyncEnabled: true. This adds a Re-Sync Columns button that allows you to pull in descriptions and other metadata from your data platform.

Once enabled, select the Re-Sync Columns button in the Node Editor to obtain updated columns and metadata from your data source. Select OK to apply the column changes.

API-Based Import​

You can use the set Workspace Node endpoint to update the descriptions.

AI-Generated Descriptions​

Use the Intelligent Documentation Assistant to create meaningful descriptions for Node and columns based on metadata and naming patterns. You can enable this in organizational settings.
