You need to implement the solution for the book reviews. Which should you do?

A Dataflow Gen2 dataflow is used for ingesting and transforming data, often involving copying, which might not be the optimal solution if the goal is to directly reference existing external data.

In Microsoft Fabric, creating a shortcut is an effective method to integrate and access existing external data, such as book reviews residing in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 or Amazon S3, directly into a Lakehouse. This approach avoids data duplication and allows Fabric analytics engines to use the data without ingestion overhead.

Enabling external data sharing is a mechanism for sharing data *from* Microsoft Fabric *to* external entities, not for consuming external data into Fabric.

A data pipeline is an orchestration tool for various activities, but the specific item used to efficiently access external data directly within a Lakehouse for analysis is typically a shortcut.
