Annotating Pre-Labeled Data
Use pre-labeling when you want to export data, add predictions externally, then import them back for refinement — or when Config/Bulk Annotate are not available for the data type.
Approaches
- Export partially labeled data from Annolive, train or run inference elsewhere, then import predictions in the same format.
- Import a pre-labeled dataset into a task that uses the same underlying data and continue labeling on top.
Predictions must match Annolive’s annotation export format. Use an existing export as a template.
Export and import for pre-labeling
- Open the task → Auto Annotate.
- Select Pre-labeling in the sidebar.

- Export data for pre-labeling.
- Generate inference in the same format as the export.
- Import the file back into Annolive.
- Open the annotation playground to refine labels.
