 ==The Parser==
 In this article we did all the manipulations with data manually just to teach you the data format. That’s not how you usually create layers for the Timeline though. There is a program called Parser that greatly facilitates the creation of layers. You can learn how to use it from this [[Documentation:How to use the Parser|article]].
+==Uploading data to the server==
+Once your layer is created and tested, you can upload it to the server. You need to create a corresponding page on the server. For layers this page should be in the ''HistoryTimelineLayer'' namespace. There are two ways you can create a page on the server. One is hard and not recommended. The other is easy.
+The hard way looks like this. You go to the site and in the search field enter the title of the page you want to create (don’t forget the namespace).
+[[File:LayerNameInSearchField.png]]
+In the search results you will see the red link because such article doesn’t exist yet.
+[[File:LayerNameInSearchResults.png]]
+Click that link. Now you can paste the layer data on the page and save it.
+[[File:CreateNewLayer.png]]
+The easy (and recommended) way looks like this. You type the name of the layer (without the namespace) in the top input field of the Editor.
+[[File:CreateNewLayerInEditor.png]]
+You then click ''Create layer'' button. This will send you directly to the article creation page with the correct title where you can paste the layer data.
