Cannot see Data Map and Unified Catalog in the free version of Microsoft Purview
Hey, I am trying to setup a data connection in the free version of Microsoft Purview. However, I cannot see the Data Map and Unified Catalog features. Is this the intended limitation of the free version? Or do I miss something?

you are not missing anything, you need to have a subscription in Azure. Then go into Azure purview and enable the data mapping from here then you go back into purview to then you will see the data mapping enabled. its more like connecting it from azure purview, using azure studio.
