 =====Description=====
 This action works together with the [[transformations:call|Call]], [[transformations:iterate|Iterate]], [[transformations:iteratecolumns|Iterate columns]], [[transformations:iteratetable|Iterate table]], or [[transformations:repeat|Repeat]] actions. It obtains an input dataset from the module (or project) that called current module. If the current module was not called from another module (or project) then Input returns empty dataset.
 To simplify development, it is possible to paste test data from the clipboard into Input action, similar to the [[transformations:sandbox|Sandbox]] action. Typically, a small subset is pasted for use in designing the workflow. The pasted data is not saved and does not survive project re-opening.\\
+\\
+=====Use cases=====
+The Input action passes data between modules in memory which helps avoid potentially slow reading datasets from disk or writing to disk in every iteration or call. By removing the need to read/write datasets to disk, the action simplified workflows.\\
