3. Add a table from data warehouse or upload a CSV

The default tab is "Data Warehouse", which lets you select tables from existing database connections.

Alternatively, file upload is supported for CSVs. Only one table can be selected at a time, and only CSVs can be uploaded. CSV headers must only use alphanumeric characters, spaces, and underscores.

If the table doesn't join to any existing topics in the data model, add it to a new topic.
