Generate dataset
Generate datasets to check the quality of your image annotations in a grid view. This feature works with images that were uploaded to SuperAnnotate or were linked from external storages.

- Viewers can't run a query with the following fields:
- Instances (createdAt, createdBy, updatedAt, updatedBy)

Unpublish dataset
To unpublish a dataset:
- In the top right corner of Explore, click Published.

A dataset can have 3 statuses: In progress, Complete, and Failed.
Dataset permissions
As a Team Owner, you can give a Team Admin permission to generate a dataset. Learn more.
Only Team Owners and Team Admins can generate and explore datasets.
Dataset limitations
- You can't generate more than one dataset. Clicking Explore after generating a dataset will overwrite the current dataset.
- You need at least 8 images in the project to be able to generate a dataset.
