+## Development notes
+
+To update the current data, replace the `metadata_stripped.csv` file with the new data, making sure that the indexes are matched.
+
+Then copy the new data into the data folder and run `convert2csv.ipynb`. This code combines the location data taken from `clusters.CCF_APDVLR.npy` with the `metadat.csv` into a single output file used in Unity. Copy the file into the `Assets/data/` folder in Unity and run the `Tools > Process CSV` function. Then re-build for WebGL and push the code. Done!
