Data Preview

The data preview panel at the bottom of the workspace lets you inspect data at any point in your workflow.

Opening the Panel

The bottom panel can be toggled and has three tabs:

  • Data Preview: View data from selected tool outputs
  • Logs: View execution logs
  • Network: View API request/response activity

Previewing Data

Selecting an Output Socket

When a tool is selected, the left sidebar shows available output sockets:

  1. Select a tool on the canvas
  2. Click on an output socket tab in the sidebar (e.g., output, T, F)
  3. Click "Preview" or wait for automatic preview

Data Table

The preview shows data in a scrollable table:

  • Columns: Show column names and inferred types
  • Rows: First N rows of the dataset (limited for performance)
  • Scrolling: Horizontal and vertical scrolling for large datasets

Limitations

  • Preview fetches a limited sample of rows (typically 100-1000)
  • Large datasets are not fully loaded into memory
  • Some operations may require executing upstream tools first

Socket Tabs

For tools with multiple outputs (like Filter with T/F or Join with L/J/R), tabs let you switch between outputs:

ToolOutput Tabs
FilterT (matching rows), F (non-matching rows)
JoinL (unmatched left), J (matched), R (unmatched right)
Other toolsSingle output tab

Resizing the Panel

Drag the top edge of the panel to resize it vertically. The panel remembers your preferred height.
