# How do I try Ergothiki with sample data?

> A full, realistic year of work to see how everything fits together — and how to take it out without touching your own records.

Under **Settings → Data → Test data**, **Add demo data** builds a connected year of work: a team, customers and partners, offers, projects with work items, appointments, time, payments, closings, notes, messages and website drafts (which are never published). It takes a little while; you are told when it is ready.

| Rule | What applies |
| --- | --- |
| Marking | A small flask icon beside every sample record |
| Plan limits | They do not count |
| How often | One set at a time; once you delete it, you can add it again |

**Delete the demo data** removes only what went in as sample data. If one of your own records was linked to a sample one (a real project on a sample customer, say), the sample record stays and is shown to you, so you can decide.

Sample data is added and removed by whoever changes the office's settings:

| Permission | Office Owner | Office administrator | Project manager | Technical staff | Secretariat | Accounting | Website manager |
