Dataflows are often reused for may datasets within and outside a workspace. As changes are made to dataflows it would be helpful to see the down stream impact for all dataset in and outside the current workspace buy just looking at the linage for that dataflow. Currently we have to look at the linage of all datasets if we want to see where a dataflow is being used. This would be very helpful to avoid changes that would adversely impact other datasets or dataflows.

RE: View the down stream linage for dataflows

Need to be able to see the downstream dependencies of dataflows outside of the current workspace--currently you can only see dependencies within the workspace. This will cause issues should a dataflow be deemed unnecessary because nothing is showing downstream in the workspace lineage and subsequently becomes deleted, only to break reports of dependencies outside of the workspace. It is a very manual process to have to go into each workspace which may contain a dependency amongst the many dataflows and semantic models and check for dependencies. Thank you!
