The data tab will be populated with sample information. Sample names will be GSM IDs for each sample. Attributes and attribute levels are drawn from the GEO sample characteristics information (Figure 3).

Project details are added to the Project settings tab (Figure 4). The project name is the first 54 characters taken from the BioProject ID title. The project description is the BioProject description with the GEO ID and BioProject IDs appended.

The Analyses tab will include an Unaligned reads data node once the data download has started (Figure 5). It may take a while for the download to complete depending on the size of the data. FASTQ files are downloaded from the ENA BioProject page. 

...

You can search ENA using the GEO ID (e.g., GSE71578) to check if there is a matching ENA project (Figure 6).  

Open the Study result to view the BioProject ID (e.g., PRJNA381606) and a table with information about the samples and files included in the project (Figure 7).
