Certify or Unpublish an MVD Data Asset

After an MVD is published as a Data Asset, its Publish Status is set to Published. A Product Owner can manage the published Data Asset by performing one of the following actions:

• Certify – Marks the Data Asset as reviewed and approved for enterprise-wide consumption. The Certification Status changes from Not Certified to Certified.

• Unpublish – Removes the published Data Asset from the platform, revokes its certification, and makes it unavailable for discovery and use.

These actions help ensure that only trusted and governed Data Assets are available for consumption across the organization.

To certify and unpublish a Data Asset, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Data Assets page by using either of the following methods:

   • From the required Product, click the ellipsis (…) and then click Data Assets.

   • From the left navigation pane, select Data Lab > Data Assets.

     Note:

     The Certified badge indicates that the Data Asset has been reviewed and approved by the Product Owner and is ready for enterprise-wide consumption.

   Unpublish a Data Asset

   You may need to unpublish a Data Asset when it is no longer valid for use, contains incorrect or outdated information, has compliance or quality issues, or must be temporarily withdrawn from the platform until corrective actions are completed.
