We'll start with importing files in the UI. If you're just starting your journey with V7, or you're adding data for a new project, click **New Dataset** in the **Datasets** page. [Click here](https://docs.v7labs.com/docs/create-a-dataset-1) for a detailed guide on how to create your first dataset

Any time you need to add data to an existing dataset, simply open it up and click Add data in the top right of the page.

Now that we've got the basics out of the way, check out the sections below where we'll look at V7's [**supported file formats**](https://docs.v7labs.com/docs/supported-file-formats), how to [**upload video files**](https://docs.v7labs.com/docs/upload-video-files), and how to [**import large datasets and annotations using CLI commands**](https://docs.v7labs.com/docs/import-data-with-cli-commands)
