## Exploring Demo Data

### Timeline View

See how items appear on a timeline:

* Multiple swimlanes by product area
* Items spanning different date ranges
* Nested hierarchy indicators

### List View

Review the item structure:

* Expand/collapse hierarchy
* See all item properties
* Understand parent-child relationships

### Kanban View

Explore workflow visualization:

* Items in different columns/statuses
* Drag to change status
* Card details

### Hierarchy View

Visualize relationships:

* Flow from initiatives to tasks
* Connection lines between items
* Multi-level nesting

## Customizing Demo Data

After generation, you can:

* **Edit items**: Modify names, dates, details
* **Add items**: Create your own alongside demo data
* **Delete items**: Remove what you don't need
* **Reorganize**: Change hierarchy and assignments

<Tip>
  Treat demo data as a starting point—customize it to match your actual use case.
</Tip>

## Clearing Demo Data

To start fresh:

1. Delete individual items, or
2. Delete the workspace and create a new one

<Warning>
  There's no bulk "clear demo data" option. Delete the workspace if you want a completely clean slate.
</Warning>

## Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Use for Training">
    Generate demo data in a separate workspace for training new team members.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Test Features">
    Try export, share, and filter features with demo data before your real roadmap.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Keep Separate">
    Use a dedicated workspace for demo exploration to keep your real data clean.
