# Uploading Data

Understand the process of creating a new project and importing your dataset, including file format requirements and tips to prepare your data for effective LLM testing in the platform.

The **Datasets** section in RagaAI Catalyst allows users to import their datasets into the platform through various modes.

There are three modes for uploading datasets:

1. **Upload via CSV**
2. **Logging via Traces**
3. **Using Existing Demo Datasets:** RagaAI Catalyst provides a collection of curated demo datasets that users can explore. These demo datasets are based on common use cases and allow you to familiarise yourself with the platform before uploading your own data.
