 GloBI has a ton of useful data in it and can be used in many different ways. However, it can also be a bit overwhelming with so much data. This page offers some helpful links, hacks, and instructions for how to extract the information available in a useful format.

 Did you know, GloBI has a number of datasets and files pre-compiled and ready to download?! 
 
 Just go to the [GloBI Sources page](https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org/sources), find a collection or group's dataset you are interested in, and click the "review" button on the left with the green checkmark. Then copy the file you want and paste it into your web browser address box. It will automatically start to download the file 😃
 
 Here are some multip collection precompiled datasets you may find useful:

 You can view datasets from GloBI (or any other .csv/.tsv files online) without actually downloading them! This is possible by using Google Sheets and removing the 
 ".gz" extention of a file from the [GloBI Sources page](https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org/sources). 
-- Open a new blacnk Google Spreadsheet in one browser tab/window
+- Open a new blank Google Spreadsheet in one browser tab/window
 - In another browser tab/window, pick the dataset you want to view
    - On the [GloBI Sources page](https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org/sources), pick a collection or group
    - On the left of the items listed, click the "review" button with a green checkmark next to it
    - From the list of files that opens on a new page, copy the file name of the file you want to view (excluding the .gz part if it has it)
 - Go back to your blank Google Spreadsheet tab
-- In the first cell type the formula:\
-      **=IMPORTDATA("YOUR FILE NAME")**\
-   Example: \
-      =IMPORTDATA("https://depot.globalbioticinteractions.org/reviews/globalbioticinteractions/scan/indexed-interactions-sample.tsv")
+- In the first cell type the formula:
+
+```
+IMPORTDATA("YOUR FILE NAME")
+```
+   Example: 
+```
+=IMPORTDATA("https://depot.globalbioticinteractions.org/reviews/globalbioticinteractions/scan/indexed-interactions-sample.tsv")
+```
 - Don't forget the quotation marks in the formula!
