You can add data to a Narrative through a variety of methods. The **Data Browser** allows you to search data in KBase or import data from your computer or a database.

* *My Data* shows your data objects available within Narratives.&#x20;
* *Shared With Me* includes data associated to Narratives shared with you.&#x20;
* *Public* displays Public datasets.
* *Example* shows datasets that have been pre-loaded by the KBase team.&#x20;
* *Import* allows you to upload your own datasets or external datasets for analysis.

Add data by navigating to the Data Browser tab and hover over the data object to reveal the *<* *Add* button. Click on the "*< Add*" button to import the data object into the Narrative. Now you can view the data object and run analysis.&#x20;
