# Recipe Panel

The Dataprep Recipe panel is a workspace where you can visualize and manage all data preparation tasks applied to your datasets. This panel is at the core of the data preparation process, providing a clear view of each step taken.&#x20;

This panel displays a flow of all operations performed on the dataset, with each task shown as a distinct step in the sequence. You can follow a step-by-step workflow, making it easier to understand the impact of each action. This approach ensures that each data preparation task is applied methodically and can be reviewed at any point.&#x20;

This provides flexibility, enabling users to adjust their data preparation process as needed. &#x20;

You can move, edit, or remove tasks directly within the panel. This makes it simple to adjust the data preparation strategy as new insights are gained or requirements change.&#x20;

The *Up* and *Down* option can be used to move recipe actions and change their order:&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** You must be cautious when moving actions and changing their original order as doing so may result in errors. &#x20;
{% endhint %}
