Release
==================
AgileData.io - Take Control of Your Data Dictionary: Edit Column Descriptions Directly

Your data catalog is now fully editable. You can now click into any column description and update it directly from the catalog view, making it easier than ever to maintain clear, accurate documentation for your data consumers.

Previously, column descriptions could only be updated through backend processes or automatically generated. While automation is helpful for getting started, you're the expert on your data and sometimes need to add context, clarify meaning, or correct automated descriptions.

**What's New:**

* Click-to-edit functionality for column descriptions across all tiles
* Immediate updates that persist to your data catalog
* Clean, intuitive interface that matches the existing catalog design
* Description column now visible in all tile views for better data discovery

**What this means for you:**

* Build a more accurate and useful data dictionary without leaving the catalog interface
* Add business context and domain knowledge that automated descriptions can't capture
* Improve data literacy across your organization by documenting what columns actually mean
* Make your data more discoverable and understandable for all data consumers
