Merge Datasets

If more than one data file originating from the same platform has been loaded into a project, the datasets can be merged into one for analysis. See Local_Data_Files#Microrray_data_and_merging_datasets for further information.

Remove

This option will remove a project or a data node under the project from the Project Folders component. It will not remove a top-level workspace.
