List of models

Your models live in your drive. They can be placed loose, or you may organize them within folders.

In the left panel you'll find the tree structure of your drive under My Data Modeler. In Shared you'll find all models that were shared by someone else with you. Recent models will let you start where you left off, and Trash will allow you to recover accidentally deleted models.

Select a model to see more information about the model: 3 tabs in the right panel will show up: Activity, Details, and Versions.

If you want to preview how the model was changing, click on the eye icon in the top bar. You may do it also by right-clicking on it and picking the Preview option from the context menu.

In the context menu, you'll also find these options:

• Download will let you quickly download XML files for sharing.
• Share... will show a pop-up with sharing options. Read more here.
• Publish to the Web... will bring up a pop-up that will let you generate the link and code for embedding the model, e.g., on your blog.
• ... and more that are self-explanatory.
