The database will be loaded automatically when you click on save. * Copy a link from which to extract the information. If you choose this option, you must indicate the URL and the provider. The database will be loaded automatically when you click ‘Save dataset’. ## **6. Edit your database** If you want to make an update, go to your database. You can load a new file from there by clicking on the "actions" button at the top left. This action will change your new database to the old one. ![edit-your-dataset.gif](/uploads/edit-your-dataset.gif) ## **Create, share and enjoy.**
