################################################

In this section, we'll review some of the Simlytiks Standalone Application (new as of April 6, 2022). Standalone is multi-source, allowing you to put all your data into one container to visualize, analyze, study and explore. Instead of mining data based on a specific dataset, you can import any and all data sources and review them all together.

Simlytiks Standalone has some unique features not found in the standard version of Simlytiks. Let's go over a few.

|bullseye| Auto Detection
=========================

When importing data, Standalone reads the file and data type to visualize it instantly. The following example shows how it detects an image file:

When upload a media file as a data source, Simlytiks Standalone initiates the built-in image editor. You can customize images easily with editing options such as crop, erase, rotate, add text, change opacity, and more. Here is a simple example of editing an image by erasing:
