# File upload

The **File Upload** widget enables you to create or append a WhatIf scenario by uploading CSV files into the cube.

## Using the widget

To use File Upload:

1. Add your files into the relevant directory in the **stage** folder. It is located in `cvarc-starter/src/test/resources/data/`. The files you add here are then displayed in the File Upload widget.
2. To launch the File Upload widget, from the top left menu, click **Insert** > **Widgets**. This opens the list of available widgets.
3. From the list, drag and drop the File Upload widget to your dashboard.
