Governance takeaway
- Admins/CoE: Check Licensing to Dataverse storage after enabling Fabric Link, because annotation can create a much larger annotation-analytics table in database storage.
- Leadership/Business: Challenge enabling tables for possible future use, because the reported database storage pricing made the observed 180 GB increase financially significant.
