Extract a JSON script to reproduce your steps with another data file

1. If you have a similarly structured dataset – perhaps for a different snapshot in time – and want to perform the same steps, we can extract a JSON script for future use. Click on the Undo/Redo tab and click on Extract. Choose the steps you want to repeat. Copy the code and save it in a text file to keep a copy of your steps. Later if you load up your new dataset, you could go back to the Undo/Redo tab and select Apply and paste in this code into the window to run those steps on the new dataset.

Activity 4

Start up a new project and load the citizen science dataset again. Apply the JSON code that we just copied by going to the Undo/Redo tab, clicking Apply and copying and pasting the code into the window. Click Perform Operations.

Shutting down OpenRefine

1. To ensure that all of your steps are saved, it is important to properly shut down OpenRefine.
   • On a PC, hit Control-C on your keyboard.
   • On a Mac, go to the OpenRefine app in the doc and choose Quit.
