Explain table purpose
Keep structural context and business meaning close to the entities that matter.
Documentation workflow
Use the diagram itself as the shared database documentation surface.
Documentation is more useful when table relationships, notes, and reviewer context stay attached to the same visual workspace instead of being split across files, screenshots, and side comments. DataPilot ERD turns the diagram into a lightweight documentation layer teams can actually use.
Leave notes where people are already looking
Sticky-note style context makes more sense when it lives next to the model.
Reduce documentation drift
When structure and explanation stay together, the documentation is easier to keep current.
Share one reference
Give engineers, analysts, consultants, and reviewers one place to inspect the same schema.
