Introduction
To start visualizing data, go to the Foxglove dashboard and choose a data source option.
Data sources
Connect to a live data source or load local and Foxglove-imported files to visualize their data.

| Local data "Open local file" | Inspect data stored locally on your computer | |
| Imported data "Upload and share data" | Inspect data imported to the Foxglove platform |
tip
If you're curious about Foxglove, but don't have your own robotics data on hand, checkout the Foxglove sample data gallery.
Once connected, Foxglove will display the data source's topics in the sidebar:
