18 | | -At the time of this writing, known limitations of the AnVIL Data Explorer are: |
| 18 | +Export your search results directly to Terra for immediate analysis, or download manifests to enable the use of the data in alternative computational environments. This flexibility ensures the Data Explorer fits seamlessly into your existing workflow. |

20 | | -- Currently supports Terra on Google Cloud Platform. Support for Terra on Microsoft Azure is coming later this year. |
21 | | -- Incomplete dataset descriptions and other supporting information. This information is limited and should be growing, which will increase the usefulness of the AnVIL Data Explorer. |
22 | | -- Limited support for metadata export. This will evolve over time, but currently, some metadata is not handed off to Terra on GCP. We expect this to improve after the release. |
