# Discover Your Data

Discover scans your data sources and applies relevant tags when data is recognized. This eliminates a manual tagging process for your data, saving you time and providing standard taxonomy across all your data sources.

## [Getting started](/2024.2/discover-your-data/getting-started.md)

This guide illustrates how to implement sensitive data discovery and classification.

## [Introduction](/2024.2/discover-your-data/discover-introduction.md)

This reference guide discusses the components and benefits of Immuta Discover.

## [Architecture](/2024.2/discover-your-data/architecture.md)

This reference guide describes the design of Immuta Discover.

## [Data discovery](/2024.2/discover-your-data/data-discovery.md)

Sensitive data discovery (SDD) is an Immuta feature that uses data patterns to determine what type of data your column represents. This saves the time of identifying your data manually and provides the benefit of a standard taxonomy across all your data sources in Immuta.

The guides in this section discuss the components of SDD and how to use it to tag your data.

## [Data classification](/2024.2/discover-your-data/data-classification.md)

Classification is the process in which data is categorized by the content and the associated risk level based on context. The guides in this section illustrate how to configure and customize classification for your organization.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.2/discover-your-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
