## Build a workflow

Link analytical tools to your data repository. Establish a data-driven process for cleaning, transforming and combining. Connect fresh sources to replicate and expand your investigation.

* [<mark style="color:blue;">Clean</mark>](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/cleaning) up, with tools such as [<mark style="color:blue;">Text to Columns</mark>](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/cleaning/text2columns) or [<mark style="color:blue;">Find & Replace</mark>](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/cleaning/findreplace)
* [<mark style="color:blue;">Transform</mark>](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/transform), your data by employing spreadsheet-style formulae with the [<mark style="color:blue;">Edit Columns</mark>](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/transform/editcolumns) tool
* [<mark style="color:blue;">Merge</mark>](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/combine), columns with the [<mark style="color:blue;">Join</mark>](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/combine/join) tool and rows with [<mark style="color:blue;">Append</mark>](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/combine/append)

## Share a Data App

Package your workflow logic into a streamlined dashboard without any coding. Incorporate charts, tables, and interactive controls into your data app and then share it with collaborators and clients.

* [<mark style="color:blue;">Dynamic Workflows</mark>](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/workflows/dynamic-workflows) enable partners to submit files via your data app.
* [<mark style="color:blue;">Global Variables</mark>](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/workflows/global-variables) give colleagues the ability to tweak and reprocess your data app.
* Finally, [<mark style="color:blue;">deploy</mark>](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/workflows/run-logs) your workflow to maintain version control.
