-All manipulations with tables are done with the help of various transformations. E.g. renaming a column is a transformation. Filtering, joining, aggregations -- all are transformations. Every transformation is an action that somehow changes a table.
+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. Actions can be one of 5 types:
-Transformations are executed consequently, step-by-step. One transformation is one step. Every transformation is applied to the result (output) of previous transformation. Therefore sequence of transformations is important. The same transformations in different order would usually produce different result (although not always).
+  * 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
+  * Workflow -- actions that help organize project workflow and perform various automation
-Final state (or result) of a table is the result of all transformations of this table applied consequently, one after another.

-Some transformations (e.g. [[transformations:append|Append Table]]) require another table. These transformations have two inputs -- one input is the result of previous transformation in the same table and the other input is the final state (i.e. the result of last transformation) of the other table.
