Moving Data Products Between Governance Domains

I have a number of data products whose location in the governance domain hierarchy is no longer a good fit.

I'm struggling to find a route to move them, unpublishing and select edit gets me to the same options as during creation but the governance domain can't be selected and change.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/how-to-create-manage-data-products#edit-data-product is ambiguous on what can be edited but there's no exclusions given. Copilot makes a number of suggestions (dragging and dropping and using the "move" option from the list of data products), unfortunately none of of these appear to be based in reality.

Is there a route to make a move? Am I missing permissions? Or is the expectation that I delete and re-create data products any time they need to move.

  • Hello, moving business concepts between governance domains is currently on our backlog. We are looking to enable it for glossary terms by next quarter and will continue to incrementally add support for other concepts from there.

    I have the same problem, and I'm wondering what the ETA is?  as we are just starting to define our domains and products, but have changed our minds on structure, so now we have to recreate everything, as we did not realise they could not be moved between domains - should we wait for functionality?
