Data Store is the managed dataset workspace. Inspect rows, fields, and dataset contents before using that data in maps, ETL flows, or APIs.
Data Store
When to use this surface
Use Data Store for record-level confidence. Use Files and Assets for uploaded source files that are not yet managed datasets. Use Maps & Layers when the work is spatial project composition.

FAQ
Is Data Store where I upload files?▾
No. Upload in Files, then work with managed datasets here after ingest.
Why inspect here before mapping?▾
Map work is harder to reverse when fields, identifiers, or geometry families are wrong. Validate first.
