 For example, if you want to add or update the  `Gender` attribute of a patient by incrementally uploading the `PATIENT_ATTRIBUTES` data type, you have to supply **all** other attributes of this patient again.
 Note that in this case, you don't have to supply all sample information or molecular data types for this patient again as those are separate data types, and the rule applies to them in their own turn.

+Incremental upload enables data entries of certain data types to be updated without the need of re-uploading the whole study.
 The data directory follows the same structure and data format as the study directory.
 It should contain complete information about entries you want to add or update.
 Please note that some data types like study are not supported and must not be present in the data directory.
