 ## Developing 🧑‍💻
 ### Starting the project and populating elastic with the sample dataset
 
-Run `docker-compose up`, which will start the app in development mode.
-
-Navigate to the `dataset_examples` in your terminal and run the following command to populate the running elastic instance with sample data collected from the [Journal of Universal Computer Science](https://lib.jucs.org/): `python populate_elastic.py jucssm jucs_sm.ndjson`. The first argument is the index name, and the second argument is the file name.
-
-You can drop your custom dataset in the same folder and run the command by changing the parameters for the index name and the file name. The custom dataset should have the following format:
-
-```JSON
-{"index": {"_id": 0}}
-{"Column 1": "Value 1.1", "Column 2": "Value 2.1", "Column 3": ["Value 3.1.1", "Value 3.1.2"]}
-{"index": {"_id": 1}}
-{"Column 1": "Value 1.2", "Column 2": "Value 2.2", "Column 3": ["Value 3.2.1", "Value 3.2.2", "Value 3.2.3"]}
-```
-
-A file containing the config for this dataset can be found in the `server/app/data/config` folder. This file can be used to modify your default config for the uploaded dataset. If you add more datasets, please make sure to name the config file of each new dataset the same as the index. **Dataset config files are necessary for each dataset!**
-
-The config file has the following parameters:
-```JavaScript
-{
-    "default_visible_dimensions": ["feature 1", "feature 2"], // Default visible features in detail network
-    "anchor": "featur 2", // Default anchor node for both networks
-    "links": ["feature 1"], // Default link features for both networks
-    "default_search_fields": ["feature 2"], // Features used for searching through the start page searchbar
-    "schemas": [ // Default schemas (can be left empty)
-        {
-            "name": "schema name",
-            "relations": [
-                {
-                    "dest": "feature 1",
-                    "src": "feature 2",
-                    "relationship" "oneToOne" // Can be oneToOne, oneToMany, ManyToOne and manyToMany
-                },
-                {
-                    "dest": "feature 2",
-                    "src": "feature 3",
-                    "relationship" "oneToMany"
-                }
-            ]
-        }

-Open [http://localhost:8882](http://localhost:8882) to view CSX in the browser and explore the newly added dataset.
+Run `docker-compose up`, which will start the app in development mode on [http://localhost:8882](http://localhost:8882)
+
+Navigate to the `dataset_examples` folder and drag and drop the example file `just_sm.csv` into the csx drop zone to populate the running elastic instance with sample data collected from the [Journal of Universal Computer Science](https://lib.jucs.org/).
+
+
+To add a custom dataset simply prepare a CSV file with the following format (make sure there are no single quotation marks in the text since that might interfere with the automatic processing of list values):
+
+| String feature name   | Category feature name                   | Number feature name | List feature name       |
+| --------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------- |
+| Some string value.    | Categorical val 1                       | 1                   | ["val1","val2","val3"]  |
+| Another string value  | Categorical val 2 (same as a string)    | 4.35                | ["val6","val4","val1"]  |
+
+
+When the dataset is uploaded a config file is created in the `server/app/data/config` folder. This file defines the default configuration for a dataset.
+
+> 🚨 **Config files should never be manually modified. If you want to modify the config of a dataset either click on the change default settings for dataset button next to each of the datasets on the homepage or delete the dataset and upload it again with different settings.**:
