The Open Data Editor was developed in collaboration with user communities worldwide. Between 2024 and 2025, three formal testing and feedback phases were conducted with civil society organisations working in different fields of knowledge. This work has given rise to several use cases, all of which are compiled here: [https://blog.okfn.org/tag/ode-use-cases/](https://blog.okfn.org/tag/ode-use-cases/) 

Below, we highlight some of them to give you an idea of the types of tasks that ODE helps to perform to improve data workflow and data quality.

You can also contribute by documenting a use case. Learn how at **Documentation \> Use cases** in this guide.
