The add-in can be unloaded or set not to load at startup by changing the
options in the Add-in Manager (page 13) dialog box. When the Data

window is only accessible in Build mode. If the window is closed, in Build
mode, click View > Data Favorites.

There are two panels within the Data Favorites window:
