Your customer data sits in several clouds and apps, and nobody knows which copy is real. This episode explains Microsoft Fabric shortcuts for beginners and data teams: what they are, where they live, what they can reach, and the trade-offs and mistakes to avoid. You'll learn how to keep one authoritative copy while every team still gets a clean view of the data.

Key takeaways
Worth quoting
“A shortcut is a pointer, not a copy. And that single idea is the foundation for everything else.” – Mirko Peters (02:35)
“If two teams each keep their own copy of the customer records, you pay to store it twice. Worse, you end up with two versions that drift apart the moment someone updates one copy and forgets the other.” – Mirko Peters (02:07)

Key takeaways
- A Fabric shortcut is a pointer to data at a target path, so deleting the shortcut never deletes the source data.
- Place shortcuts under Tables when the target is Delta and must be queryable in SQL and Power BI, and under Files for raw data you plan to process.
- Shortcuts trade copies for dependency and first-read latency, so copy data instead when it needs heavy transformation, must stay in a region, or needs full maintenance control.
