• Supports multiple versions of datasets
• Discover data shared by others
• Long term storage options with DANS (Data archiving and Networking Services)

• Fill out descriptive metadata, such as: 
  • Title

  • Steps to Reproduce
  • Related Links
  • Optional fields as designated.
• Click to upload or drag-and-drop your files in the Data Files section of the entry form.
