-This step should be a short one if the data is in order. It is mostly implemented to make sure that if there is more than one data manager, they can check what the other data managers did. If you did implement our suggestion of having one data manager with final say, then this step is where they get to do a last check. In this step, you have the option to "Preview data", to "Create data package", and to "Prepare data" (see screenshot below).
