 ## 5. Upload to Fragalysis
 
-To generate the gzipped tar file needed to manually upload the data move into your version dir and run this command
-(updating it for the specific upload version and target name):
-
-```
-tar cvfz <target_name>.tgz upload_1

 **Staging vs production: there are two live versions of Fragalysis. "Staging" is used for testing and is in constant development, therefore it may be buggier and/or have new features with respect to "production" which is the stable and public deployment. You should test if your upload works in staging, and verify that the data has been uploaded correctly before uploading to production. Data in staging is "at risk" as we may have to wipe the data occassionally for development reasons.**
 
 ### First to log in to Fragalysis and authenticate and log in with your FedID:
 
 * Staging: https://fragalysis.xchem.diamond.ac.uk/viewer/react/landing
 * Production: https://fragalysis.diamond.ac.uk/viewer/react/landing
 
-### The gzipped tar file can then be uploaded to Fragalysis via:
-
-* Staging: https://fragalysis.xchem.diamond.ac.uk/api/upload_target_experiments/
-* Production: https://fragalysis.diamond.ac.uk/api/upload_target_experiments
-
-The target access string will be the name of your proposal in UAS/ISpyB. Any Fed ID with access to your proposal will be able to see your data. If you have a private/closed data set, this means only logged in users with access configured via UAS will see your target dataset.

-Fill in your email and attach the `.tgz` archive. After clicking 'POST' you will see a URL which you can append to https://fragalysis.xchem.diamond.ac.uk/ (or https://fragalysis.diamond.ac.uk/ for production) to track the progress of the upload.

 ## 6. Creating subsequent versions
 
 When you have new or updated data you need to create a new version of the upload.
