+All manipulations with tables are done with the help of various actions. E.g. renaming a column is an action. Filtering, joining, aggregations -- all are actions. As of version 4.0 EasyMorph has more than 110 various actions that can be one of 5 types:
   * Create -- actions that create or generate a table
   * Import -- actions that import data into EasyMorph
   * Transform -- actions that transform previously loaded data
-  * Export -- actions that export data into files and databases
+  * Export -- actions that export data into files, databases, applications and external systems
-  * Workflow -- actions that help organize project workflow and perform various automation
+  * Workflow -- actions that organize project workflow, perform various operations with files and external systems
 Actions are executed consequently, step-by-step. One action is one step. Every action is applied to the result (output) of previous action. Therefore sequence of actions is important. The same actions in different order would usually produce a different result (although not always).

 ==== Auto-documentation ====
 EasyMorph can automatically generate documentation from current transformation project. Read more about [[documentation|Auto-documentation]].
+==== Launcher ====
+EasyMorph Launcher is a complementary scheduling/triggering utility that comes with EasyMorph Desktop. Launcher allows creating tasks with EasyMorph projects that triggered manually when needed, or scheduled on various schedules (Once, Continuous, Daily, Weekly). Launcher resides in the system tray, starts on Windows start and is tightly integrated with Desktop.
 ==== Command-line execution ====
 EasyMorph projects can be executed from command line thus allowing integration with third-party applications. Read more about [[command_line|command line parameters]].
+==== EasyMorph Server ====
+[[https://easymorph.com/server.html|EasyMorph Server]] is a Windows service with a web interface that employs the same in-memory engine as EasyMorph Desktop. Server allows scheduling projects, sharing files and datasets between users, and hosting connector repositories. It also provides a REST API for programmatic integration with external systems.
