Workspace Best Practices

Effective workspace collaboration requires clear structure and consistent practices.
Keep structure simple:
  • Agree on folder and naming conventions early
  • Group files by project or use case
  • Keep folder structures shallow when possible
  • Use clear, descriptive file names
Use tags consistently:
  • Agree on tag meanings as a team
  • Use tags for cross-cutting categories
  • Mark priority or status with tags
  • Build shared tagging systems
Tags work best when the team agrees on their meaning.
Rely on AI for synthesis:
  • Use summaries and queries to surface insights
  • Generate cross-file summaries instead of manual review
  • Let AI handle search instead of over-organizing
  • Combine multiple files for analysis
Review access regularly:
  • Remove outdated members
  • Adjust permissions as projects evolve
  • Grant minimum necessary permissions
  • Update roles as needed
Regular access reviews keep workspaces secure and relevant.

Data Analysis Best Practices

Before running analysis or building visualizations, understand the structure and contents of your dataset.
Use these queries to understand the shape of your data:
  • “How many rows are in this data?”
  • “What columns are available?”
  • “Show the schema”
These commands help you confirm what fields exist and how the dataset is organized.
To inspect actual values, request samples:
  • “Show the first 10 rows”
  • “Show a random sample of 20 rows”
  • “Show rows with the highest values”
Previews help you understand formatting, value ranges, and potential anomalies before analysis.
Assess data completeness and consistency:
  • “Are there missing values?”
  • “How many duplicate rows exist?”
  • “Which columns contain null values?”
  • “Show unique values in the Status column”
These checks help you identify issues that may affect analysis results.
