Editing Datasets in Data Studio

Data Studio lets you edit dataset values directly in the browser, then commit those edits back to your repo — no re-upload required.

Cell editing is available when:

• You have write access to the dataset repository.
• The selected split is backed by a single .csv, .tsv, or .parquet file.

Enter edit mode

Click Toggle Edit Mode to start editing the current split.

Edit and stage changes

In edit mode, editable cells show an edit action. You can edit string, number, and boolean values (including setting values to null).

Edits are staged locally first and shown as an unsaved-changes counter, so you can review everything before committing.

Commit your edits

Click Commit, update the commit message if needed, and confirm.

Commits are optimized for large files: Data Studio computes the exact edited byte ranges and commits only those changes instead of rewriting the full file. Storage and upload on the Hub are handled efficiently with Xet-backed chunking and deduplication.

Discard staged edits

You can leave edit mode at any time. If you don’t want to keep your staged edits, discard them before exiting edit mode.
