-## How it works
-
-1. **User assignment**. When you start your trial, you will be automatically assigned to either the placeholder data workflow or the custom data workflow, based on your user profile.
-2. **Preloaded sample data**. If you are assigned the placeholder data option, sample data will be preloaded into the platform, along with dashboards and log searches tailored to your use cases, such as Monitoring & Troubleshooting (M&T) or Compliance & Security (CIS).
-3. **Onboarding checklist**. You will follow a guided checklist that helps you:
-   - Analyze sample data.
-   - Perform log searches.
-   - Invite team members to join and explore the platform with you.
-4. **Seamless transition to real data**. After you complete the sample data onboarding steps, you can set up your own data ingestion while continuing to use the platform’s core features.
-5. **Sample data deactivation**. The placeholder data will automatically be deactivated at the end of your trial period.
-
-## Limitations
-
-* **User profiling for selection**. Your assignment to either placeholder data or your own data workflow is determined by user profiling data from marketing. You won't be able to manually select your preferred workflow.
-* **Limited availability**. At launch, the placeholder data option will only be available to select trial users based on profiling.
