TL;DR
Upload CSVs in the wizard (Step 2 — Upload CSV): drag a .csv up to 5 MB, then Continue. On the datasets hub, Rename, Export CSV, Open in wizard (edit table), or Delete dataset. The hub itself doesn’t upload—use New Visualization.

User summary
Storyloft CSV datasets power data visualizations for a specific manuscript. Authors searching for Upload CSV dataset should start New Visualization (wizard), while rename/export/delete live on the Data Visualizations datasets page. Clean headers and reasonable size limits keep uploads passing security and parsing checks.
