Visualize and orchestrate downstream exposures enterprise

The following table summarizes the differences between visualizing and orchestrating downstream exposures:

Info	Set up and visualize downstream exposures	Orchestrate downstream exposures beta
Purpose	Automatically brings downstream assets into your dbt lineage.	Proactively refreshes the underlying data sources during scheduled dbt jobs.
Benefits	Provides visibility into data flow and dependencies.	Ensures BI tools always have up-to-date data without manual intervention.
Location	Exposed in dbt Explorer	Exposed in dbt Cloud scheduler
Supported BI tool	Tableau	Tableau
Use case	Helps users understand how models are used and reduces incidents.	Optimizes timeliness and reduces costs by running models when needed.

Check out the following sections for more information on visualizing and orchestrating downstream exposures:

Set up and visualize downstream exposures

Set up downstream exposures automatically from dashboards to understand how models are used in downstream tools for a richer downstream lineage.

Orchestrate downstream exposures

Proactively refreshes the underlying data sources (like Tableau extracts) using the dbt Cloud scheduler during scheduled dbt jobs.
