WGCNA "expression data": raw counts, TPM or logTMP?

For my WGCNA analysis I need to use "expression data" for several functions. But it is not described whether this is raw count data or TPM values? Or even logTPM values? I have a scRNA Seq experiment, would it be ok to use the logTPM matrix as "expression data"?

I'm sorry if this is obvious, but here's the WGCNA tutorial; https://labs.genetics.ucla.edu/horvath/CoexpressionNetwork/Rpackages/WGCNA/Tutorials/ The example expression data in there seems to be logTPM plus other stuff that you cut out.
