'''4'''. In the Contribtastic! window, force a scan of your system for market data files by selecting ''Scan Now'' in the ''File'' menu - this will upload the most current data to EVE-Central. These scans happen regularly without you having to manually request an upload like this, but you want the data you've just generated to be available before you proceed to the next section. It's a good practice to manually force a scan every time you are about to search for trade routes. | '''4'''.

Again, these steps are optional—EVE-Central will still work most of the time even if you contribute nothing to the database yourself. There are lots of other players contributing data. However, by contributing your own data from the region you're in, you drastically diminish the chance of the EVE-Central database being stale. Plus, it helps everyone else and is a generally nice thing to do. | Again, these steps are optional—EVE-Central will still work most of the time even if you contribute nothing to the database yourself.
