To begin, you need the data files you want to use in your analysis. You can use any file in your personal, Community Data, or Shared With Me folder, or you can upload or import a data file to your personal folder. Once the data file is in your workspace folder or in the Community Data folder, you can:
- Use the file in an analysis.
- View the outputs of a completed analysis.
- Download data files, output files, and folders.
- Add or view metadata in files and folders.
- Add tags and tag descriptions to files and folders.
