+### Input Data
+
+-   Inputs are data _files_
+-   Inputs are commonly named **[datasets](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/search2?query=dataset)** in Galaxy
+-   Inputs on tool forms are chosen from the _currently active_ **[history](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/search2?query=history)**
+-   **[Upload](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/search2?query=upload)** or **[copy](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/faqs/galaxy/histories_copy_dataset.html)** datasets into your history to use them
+
+:flashlight: Switch which history is active with `fa-exchange` or view all of your histories with `history-selector-icon`
+
+### Inputs: one or many?
+
+-   Input data can be ...
+    -   a single dataset `fa-file`
+    -   a set of multiple datasets `fa-files`
+    -   a set of multiple datasets in a [dataset collection](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/search2?query=collection) `fa-folder`
+
+### Input format: Datatype
+
+-   Inputs have a file format commonly named a **datatype** in Galaxy
+-   Datatypes are metadata that describe what a file contains.
+-   Datatypes are similiar to a file extention but are not a part of the file name.
+-   When the _expected_ datatype on the form matches an _assigned_ datatype, a dataset becomes available to select on the tool form.
