	Google Earth Engine much more powerful than just a data provider, if you have used GEE before and have scripts that you have run in another environment such as Jupyter notebooks or ~~google~~ colab you can run them in a similar way within QGIS through the python console / code editor.

 Once you have an image in QGIS you can manipulate it as you would if you had downloaded the image from any other data provider.

-While the data catalog is incredibly useful you are limited in that you can only import images and not whole image collections or feature datasets. To import image collections or feature collections, click on the Earth Engine Plugin and navigate to Add Layer.

 Once the plugins are installed you can connect your Google Earth Engine account to your QGIS project. Navigate to the GEE button at the top of the screen, and select sign in, this will take you to a web page that asks you so sign in to your google account and link your project.
-Once you approve the connection you’ll need to connect the Earth Engine project you wish to work from. If you haven’t set up an Earth Engine project you can learn how to do so here(LINK).

-This tutorial will walk you through how to integrate Google Earth Engine with QGIS. QGIS is a traditional GIS software with a graphical user interface, to learn more about QGIS and how to install it go here https://qgis.org/. Google Earth Engine is a cloud computing platform that houses large datasets of satellite imagery and where large scale processes run. A free account is needed to use Google Earth Engine, to learn more about GEE and how to set up your account go here https://earthengine.google.com/.
