2. Click Assign.
3. In the pop-up, select the Annotator(s) and QA(s) you want to assign.
4. Click Assign.

📘

• Contributors can access and request tasks from any folder that they are assigned to, or folders that have no assignments at all.
• When requesting tasks, contributors will receive items from the folders they are assigned to first. They will receive items from one folder at a time, in alphabetical order. If there are no more items left in the assigned folders, then contributors will receive items from an unassigned folder.

🚧

• You can assign only one folder at a time.
• Only Team Owners, Team Admins, and Project Admins can assign folders.
• Only contributors that are assigned to this folder can request items from this folder.

❗️

• An Annotator can't receive items from folders assigned to other Annotators.
• A QA can't receive items from folders assigned to other QAs.
• You can't assign folders to Team Owners, Team Admins, and Project Admins.

When a user’s role is changed, their assigned folders become unassigned.
