VAS offers DairyComp Unlimited dairies the option to quickly and easily share their most recent DairyComp cowfile backup with their herd analytics partners using the [Integrations Gallery](docId\:bpSiPB7t0V7uQI8fUAbH4) in PULSE. This automatically provides access to your herd data to simplify file sharing when needed — no need to download or upload your cowfiles manually! If at any point you decide to stop sharing your latest cowfile, you can turn off the connection with a single click.
