Content verification

Admins can verify items to let others know that the content is accurate and up to date.

Benefits of verifying an item

• Verified items get a fancy blue checkmark next to them.
• They show up higher in search suggestions and results.
• The models and metrics browsers allow you to filter for verified items.

Verifying items

To verify an item, an admin can click on the three-dot menu (…) in the upper right when viewing that item and select: Verify this item.

Removing verification status

To remove verification from an item, admins can:

1. Visit the item.
2. Click on the three-dot menu (…).
3. Select remove verification.

Changes to queries require re-verification

If anyone makes any changes to a question, metric, or model’s query, Metabase will remove the verification status (the check mark will disappear). The logic here is that changing the results in any way should require re-verification.

Dashboards verification works a little differently (since there’s no underlying query). Dashboard verification is sticky; you can modify a verified dashboard and it’ll retain its verified status.

Verifiable items

Admins can verify the following items:

• Questions
• Models
• Metrics
• Dashboards

Dashboard verification status has no affect on its questions. Questions must be verified independently.
