The new metadata import function (released in 1H22) supports the import of multiple tables from different schemas at a time. This can be scheduled or run ad-hoc to capture changes over time.
To add on to Marc's comment, we also are redesigning our metadata import and discovery services for a single entry point when adding assets to the catalog. This will simplify the experience for less confusion.
Thanks for your comment. You are correct, in the case you describe it is to allow a user to add individual assets to a Catalog, to augment the Catalog with added data sets. It is recommeneded to import many Tables / Files from a given system to leverage the Data Discovery capabilities of the tool, this will allow you to select a specific connection, sub-select a Schema / Folder or set of Assets, and import their metadata into a Catalog. Additionally, the discovery services will help automate the governance (and quality) functionalities - such as suggesting Terms to describe meaning, Classifications for identifying information and inferring Data and Quality Rules.
