Downloading data assets from a project

You can download data assets from a project to your local system.

Important: Take care when you download assets. Collaborators can upload any type of file into a project, including files that have malware or other types of malicious code.
Required permissions
You must have the Editor or Admin role in the project to download an asset.

Download a data asset

To download a data asset that is in the project's storage, select Download from the ACTION menu next to the asset name.

For an alternate method of downloading data assets for a project, select Files in the Data side panel. Checkmark the data asset and select Download from the ACTION menu in the side panel.

Download a connected data asset

To download a connected data asset, use Data Refinery to run a job that saves the file as the output of a Data Refinery flow. The output of the Data Refinery flow is a new CSV file in the project’s storage.

  1. Click the asset name to open it.
  2. Click Prepare data.
  3. From the Jobs menu, click Save and create a job. Enter a job name and click Create and Run.
