In Exploratory, you can use the [Branch](https://exploratory.io/note/kanaugust/Introduction-to-Branch-Data-Frame-dDT4hrP6bT) feature to branch off from the main data and execute new steps from there.

If you want to return to the main data frame from a branch, you can switch back simply by selecting the main data frame from the list of data frames on the left side of the screen.
