In this lesson, you'll learn how Parabola Tables let you store, share, and reuse data across flows — and see how the best teams use a central ingestion engine to drive consistency and reduce redundant work.

<Card icon="sparkles" title="Building challenge">
  Add a Parabola Table to your flow so its output can be shared with other flows and teammates.

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Copy and paste this prompt into Parabola to add a table to your flow">
      ```text wrap theme={null}
      At the end of my flow, after the step that sums Total Sales by category, add a Send to Parabola Table step. Name the table "Sales by Category".
      ```
    </Step>

    <Step title="Confirm the write mode is set to Overwrite">
      Open the **Send to Parabola Table** step and confirm the write mode is set to **Overwrite**. This replaces the table with fresh data each time the flow runs — the right behavior for a summary report like this one.
    </Step>

    <Step title="Run the flow to initialize the table">
      Click **Run flow** in the top right. This will populate your **Sales by Category** table with your first set of data.
    </Step>
