Background​

How to​

  1. You can start by either Creating a CHANGES file from scratch with SODA or Continue working on an existing CHANGES.txt file.
  2. If you want to continue working on an existing CHANGES.txt file, you will be prompted to either import it from your computer, or specify a Pennsieve dataset where the file is currently located. SODA will load information from such CHANGES file for further edits at your convenience.
  3. In the text-area, enter the information to be included in your CHANGES.txt file.
  4. Review and click on Generate to generate your CHANGES file. You have the options to generate and save it on your computer or generate and upload it to Pennsieve. The generated file will be ready to be included in your dataset.
