# Steps

This tab is provided to see all the performed transforms on the selected dataset.

This tab lists all the transformations that were performed on the data. It also gives a count of steps performed.

The user can open any performed transform and edit it using the ***Steps*** tab.

## Copy and Paste Steps <a href="#deleting-or-undeleting-steps" id="deleting-or-undeleting-steps"></a>

The Steps tab also provides the Copy and Paste icons to copy the applied set of transforms and paste them on a new Data Preparation based on the same data scource.
