Uploading data

There are two ways to upload data into BeeYard. To upload data into new Cells, use the Upload app. To upload files to specific existing Cells, use the Editor app.

When using the Upload app, a new Cell is created for each file or folder loaded into the upload window. All Cells created from one dataset can be assigned Tags and References.

Tip
To create Cells with Tags and References, follow these steps: prepare the Tags and References, drop the data into the upload window, and click on the Upload button.
