Then back in Azure Synapse Studio, in Data - Linked, notice that a new header item has appeared: "Integration Datasets". This contains two items SourceDataset_ghb and DestinationDataset_ghb referring to the above source and destination. The SourceDataset_ghb item shows the "Products" linked connection (note this connection is also shown under Manage - Linked Services.

Note also that under the synapse9cxqfg2-WorkspaceDefaultStorage header item, the destination products.csv file now appears.

Note there doesn't seem to be an item corresponding to the source URL (the Github one).
