network also has the option to Lookup User Data
. This will retrieve profile information for users that became nodes during network creation who were not authors of tweets. Their profile information was missing most likely because they were referenced in tweets but none of their tweets were collected in the search. In a twitter search profile information is only returned for the authors of tweets captured in the search.bimodal

networks have the option to filter out terms using the Remove Terms
field. This accepts a comma delimited list of terms that can be actors

(e.g @climate_person, #climate) for bimodal
networks and terms
, actors
and hashtags
(e.g climate, @climate_person, #climate) for semantic
networks. The semantic

type nodes (e.g title, description and publisher). This also replaces VideoID
type nodes with the actors ID who published the video.Add Video Details

type nodes with the actors ID who published the video.activity
