Tonic Textual generates the output files to the [configured output location](https://docs.tonic.ai/textual/datasets-create-manage/changing-cloud-storage-credentials-and-output-location#dataset-output-location). If the output location is not configured, then the generate option is disabled.

For datasets that produce JSON output, Textual generates the output files automatically as soon as the output location is configured.
