# Adding Data

There are a number of ways to add raster data to the Code Editor GUI.  

### From the Data Catalog

From the Code Editor GUI, users can add data using the Search tool or from the Data Catalog, copying the code snippet at the end of the dataset information panel.  

Searching for "LIMA" below results in a range of options.  In this case, the dataset we're looking for is the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA) Pan-sharpened Mosaic.

Clicking "Import" adds the dataset to the Editor as an Image:

### Adding Local Datasets

Users can add their own datasets to their Code Editor instance via the Assets tab:
