# Create and Manage Models

Models tell Einstein Discovery what to analyze. Creating a model involves defining the dataset fields, outcome variable, explanatory variables, and other settings to include in the analysis. Einstein Discovery uses this information to generate insights into your data.

- **[About Einstein Discovery](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_intro.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Use Einstein Discovery to augment your data analysis by exposing relevant facts, themes, and statistical correlations in your data. Einstein Discovery walks you through what has happened and why, what has changed, what is likely to happen, and what you can do about it. Now anyone can tap into the power of data science and conduct statistical analytics and predictive analytics.
- **[Create a Model](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Create a model from a CRM Analytics dataset or a template. Einstein Discovery thoroughly analyzes your data and generates revealing and meaningful insights for you to explore.
- **[Open a Model](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_open.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Open a model to explore relationships in your data.
- **[Navigate a Model](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_navigate.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Navigate a model you’ve opened.
- **[Edit Model Settings](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_modify.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Working with models is often an iterative process of further refinement. As you investigate insights in your model, you can decide to improve it by revising your settings and creating a newer version. For example, you can include or exclude a column and rerun the analysis. By interacting with the model, you overlay your intuition and domain knowledge to make the model more insightful and its recommendations more pertinent.
- **[Track Model Versions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_version.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Each time you create a model, whether it’s brand new or an update of an existing model, Einstein Discovery creates a new version and keeps previous versions so that you can track and manage your progress.
- **[Handle Quality Alerts](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_quality_alert.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Einstein Discovery displays quality alerts when it detects issues in your training data, your model’s quality metrics, or during cross-validation.
- **[Rename or Move a Model](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_save.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Change a model’s name or move it to a different app.
- **[Delete a Model](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_delete.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Delete a model you no longer need. Once you delete a model, it cannot be recovered.
