Import and Export Volume Annotations

Import Volume Annotations¶

To import a volume annotation, ensure it is in the correct format (WKW or Zarr) and compressed in a zip folder. Next, navigate to your annotation dashboard and simply drag and drop the zip folder into the WEBKNOSSOS interface. The annotation will automatically open, allowing you to edit it as usual. It will also be added to your annotation list for future access.

Export Volume Annotations¶

To export (download) an annotation, go to Menu > Download. From there, select the data you want to download and choose the desired format (WKW, Zarr). Alternatively, you can open your annotation dashboard and click Download next to the annotation.

This button opens up a dialog that starts a long-running job which will materialize the volume annotation.
