Regardless of your input type or how you choose to run `microbetag`, 
**exploring the final annotated network requires Cytoscape,**
**along with our custom `MGG` Cytoscape App developed for this purpose.**


```{important}
**INPUT FILES AND PARAMETERS SETTING**

For each tutorial, you may download its corresponding input files, and **set the parameters as shown in the tutorial**. 
Parameters settings is essential, especially for the online version of `microbetag`, 
as they can lead either to non-optimal annotations or even errors, exiting `microbetag` before building an annotated network.

```

```{note}
If something is not covered acrross the tutorials, you may check the [FAQs](../faq.md) section.
Rules of thumb on how to set your parameters are also described there.

You can ask about unresolved _how-to_ topics, suggest new features, or simply reach out for support.
```

In addition, you will always need an abundance table, having or not already a co-occurrence network, 
and to provide a set of mandatory parameters. 
We cover those topics [in the following tutorial](./input.md).
