After data is imported, you will be redirected to the pipeline builder where you can see your data source, your dataset and a stage linked to it.
Stages are nodes created for processing data while applying data flow transforms. Every dataset imported from your data source will have a stage created by default.

8. Each run is saved as a job. When a pipeline run is executed, the data will be fetched from your data sources, prepared using the series of transforms you have applied in each of the stages, and then data will be exported to your destination. This complete process is captured in the job history.
