# Data Explorer

> Interact with customer data from a convenient UI in the Kombo dashboard.

## Overview

The Data Explorer is a visual layer on top of Kombo's unified API. It allows
you to view and search for data entries and execute all write actions from a
convenient UI in the Kombo dashboard.

This allows you to easily debug issues with your integrations, develop new
features, and test changes with your customer's data or your sandboxes.
