# Adding a description for your dataset

Data doesn't stand alone. A dataset is only as good as the process that collected it, and if you want to convince someone (or yourself) about something using data, you will **need to have a description** of what the data represents and how it was collected.

In DataClassroom, the **Table** view of the dataset has a summary bar at the top with space to enter a short description (kind of a sub-title) and a longer description text.

You can also hide the summary bar and description.

If you want more screen space to look at your data, [see here for details](/v1/docs/the-screen-layout-controls).
