Browse catalogs in the Browser panel

Every saved connection appears in the QGIS Browser panel, so you can explore Unity Catalog without opening the dialog.

Navigate

1. Show the panel if it's hidden: View → Panels → Browser.
2. Expand Databricks → your connection → a catalog → a schema → a table.
3. Expanding a table lists its columns.
4. Each connection also has a ⚡ Custom Query item for writing your own SQL.

Connections appear here after you Save them in the main dialog (Connect). If a new connection doesn't show, right-click Databricks → Refresh.
