# Publish cell attributes to project

This task is only available on single cell matrix data node. It will publish one or more cell level attributes to the project level, so the attribute can be edited and seen from all single cell count data nodes within an analysis. This function can be used on annotate cell task output data node, graph based cluster data node etc.

## Running publish cell attributes to project
