# Overview

The how-to guides offer a more comprehensive overview of all the tools 🤗 Datasets offers and how to use them. This will help you tackle messier real-world datasets where you may need to manipulate the dataset structure or content to get it ready for training.

The guides assume you are familiar and comfortable with the 🤗 Datasets basics. We recommend newer users check out our [tutorials](tutorial) first.
