Tip

While only a few fields are required to create a dataset, we strongly recommend filling out additional fields, based on any relevant information you may have.

Providing more context helps ensure your dataset is easier to understand, discover, and reuse, both for yourself and others.

Even if you’re unsure about some details, you can always include what you know and update the dataset info later if needed.

Step 4: Save

Click Save located in the bottom-right corner of the page to submit your dataset.
