-This tutorial describes how to upload data to the Arvados file storage system, Keep. This example uses a freely available TSV file containing variant annotations from "Personal Genome Project (PGP)":http://www.personalgenomes.org subject "hu599905":https://my.personalgenomes.org/profile/hu599905 and demonstrates how to use @arv-put@ to add it to Keep.

-# Begin by installing the "Arvados Python SDK":{{site.baseurl}}/sdk/python/sdk-python.html on the system from which you will upload the data (such as your workstation, or a server containing data from your sequencer). This will install the Arvados file upload tool, @arv-put@. Alternately, you can log into an Arvados VM (instructions for "Unix":{{site.baseurl}}/user/getting_started/ssh-access-unix.html#login or "Windows":{{site.baseurl}}/user/getting_started/ssh-access-windows.html#login) and skip to step 4).
-# On system from which you will upload data, configure the environment with the Arvados instance host name and authentication token as decribed in "Getting an API token.":{{site.baseurl}}/user/reference/api-tokens.html
-# Check to see if @arv-put@ is installed correctly by putting an empty file. If you receive an error such as "ARVADOS_API_HOST is not set", your environment is not properly configured.

-The output value @c1bad4b39ca5a924e481008009d94e32+210@ is the Arvados collection locator that uniquely describes this file. In order to place your newly uploaded file into a Project, visit the workbench page for your new collection: <a href="https://{{ site.arvados_workbench_host }}/collections/c1bad4b39ca5a924e481008009d94e32+210" target="_blank">https://{{ site.arvados_workbench_host }}/collections/c1bad4b39ca5a924e481008009d94e32+210</a>. On that page, click on <span class="btn btn-xs btn-primary" ><i class="fa fa-fw fa-folder"></i> Choose a project...</span> to open a modal dialog allowing you to select a destination project for your collection.
+* The output value @qr1hi-4zz18-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@ is the uuid of the Arvados collection created.
+
+Now visit the Workbench *Dashboard*. Click on *Projects*<span class="caret"></span> dropdown menu in the top navigation menu, select your *Home* project. Your newly uploaded collection should appear near the top of the *Data collections* tab. The collection locator printed by @arv-put@ will appear under the *name* column.
+
+To move the collection to a different project, check the box at the left of the collection row. Pull down the *Selection...*<span class="caret"></span> menu near the top of the page tab, and select *Move selected*. This will open a dialog box where you can select a destination project for the collection. Click a project, then finally the <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">Move</span> button.
