Concepts & Mental Models#
These pages help you build a correct mental model for the R workflow:
What is an “export folder”?
How does data move from R → disk → browser?

Note
If you just want to export something quickly, you can skip to Quick Start (3 Levels). If you are debugging confusing behavior, these concept pages are worth reading.
