# Governance

## :gear:   Introduction to Governance

Fabric provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to streamline the availability, usability, integrity, and security of data across enterprise systems. These features align perfectly with internal data standards and policies, ensuring your data is not just managed but optimized for your business needs.

## :grey\_question:   Why is it important?

In today's data-driven landscape, managing the lifecycle of your data with precision and integrity is not just an option; it's a necessity. Fabric's data governance features have been developed in partnership with industry titans, tailored to meet the high standards required by leaders in title governance.

#### Governance Features include: 

#### :white\_check\_mark: Task Manager

Plan, track and allocate your catalog management tasks from the Task Manager within Fabric Studio to govern what records are being created, track and approve records, assign tickets to users, and set priorities and statuses.

#### :face\_with\_monocle: Record Workflows

With Record Workflows (previously Record Approvals), you can efficiently manage and transition records through various statuses, which are configurable based on your business needs. This ensures seamless collaboration and efficient record management.
