## Getting started with SDV Community

Use SDV Community to explore synthetic data, and create synthesizers for simple, proof-of-concept datasets.

### Customizations

Using SDV Community, you can control the full workflow when preprocessing data, anonymizing sensitive values, adding constraints and more.
