• Annotation Date - the date on which the file was annotated;

• Annotator Name - the name of the worker who annotated the file;

You can now preview a file in the Files tab.

When hovering over the preview of a video file in the file list, the video thumbnail begins to play at an accelerated speed, allowing you to quickly get an overview of the file's content without needing to open it.

Preview of a file

Files list width may be adjusted by dragging the divider between the files list and the editor. Dragging the divider all the way to the right will close the editor. Dragging the divider all the way to the left will close the files list.

Alternatively, there are buttons that close the editor or the files list, and a button that opens the files list alongside the editor if the editor is open without the files list.

If you click on Preview in the header of the Files table, a list of actions will appear. From there, you can assign one or multiple files to an operator at once.

Available options in "Preview" checkbox

If you want to add new material to a project using a CSV file, follow these steps:

1. Start by cloning an existing project. This is important because it will keep the settings in place.

2. Make sure you keep the project URL unchanged.

3. Once you have cloned the project, go to the "Files" tab and click on the "Add files" button.

4. In the window that appears, click on the "Upload CSV" button.

5. A pop-up window will appear. Select the CSV file you wish to upload and click "Open".

6. All the necessary columns will be automatically filled in. The only thing you need to do is click on the "Create" button.

7. Once you have done this, the files will be ready for annotation and will be added to the project.

At the bottom of the Files tab, you will find the Export to CSV button, which allows you to download the information you have selected on the page. The page also displays the number of files currently displayed, the refresh button, and the page transition buttons.

Exporting files to CSV enables you to open them in a table later.

You can select the required number of rows displayed on the page by using the Select rows option. The minimum value is 25 rows, while the maximum value is 1000 rows.
