Publish Statements

Publish Statements

Publish statements control the visibility and availability of datasources and concepts in the model.

Syntax

publish_statement: ("publish" | "unpublish") SCOPE IDENTIFIER

Where SCOPE is one of: concepts, concept, datasources, datasource

Publish

Mark a datasource or concept as published (available for use):


publish datasource customers;
publish concept customer.id;

Unpublish

Mark a datasource or concept as unpublished (hidden from general use):


unpublish datasource staging_customers;
unpublish concept internal_customer_score;

Use Cases

  • Control which datasources are available in production
  • Hide internal/staging datasources
  • Manage concept visibility across teams
  • Deprecate old concepts while keeping definitions

Example


import customer as customer;
# Make the validated customer data available
publish datasource customers;
# Hide the raw staging data
unpublish datasource raw_customers;

Tips

Published status affects datasource discovery and can be used to control which sources are used in query resolution.
