Thank you for good response to reviewer comments.

Manuscript needs:

a) A data source table. E.g. from Section 2 on commodities, countries, trade matrices, etc. add a table listing: each source by URL and DOI (if available), full citation details, version numbers, date of last access, etc. You want to make explcitily clear to users what you started from, especially as you intend that the CWASI database evolves via additional contributions. You undoubtedly have all this information but you need to provide it in convenient format for users.

b) Add a section on cautions or limitations. Some of this you now include in Section 5 Results, but - to judge utility for their own work - future users will need to read your cautions. ESSD readers expect a section on uncertainties / cautions / limitations, etc.

c) Formatting errors around line 480. You want to fix these now rather than hoping to catch them later during proofreading.

d) Use the user-friendly version of data DOI, e.g. https://doi.org/10.xxxxx

e) Consider taking long tables now included in supplement as Appendices instead. This change because Copernicus will archive full manuscript but not, in the long-term, supplements.

Thank you for prompt reponse, and thank you for using ESSD.
