A “Unique task number “ for each task appears below “Back to dashboard” button.
Unique task number is followed by Annotator’s account. (This can be used when multiple annotations to a task have been added by different users).
The work area consists of a given source sentence and it’s machine translated output in your language.
Users can mark annotations in the text field shown on the task dashboard.
“View All Annotations” button lets the users see various translations that have been done for a particular task by different users.
*This comes to use when more than one users are allowed to annotate a task when the project is being created by the manager.
“Delete Annotation” button is used to delete the annotations for a particular task.
“Undo” and “Redo” buttons can be used to change the reflected changes in the edit done by a user.
“Reset” button resets all the changes made in current annotation. This can be considered equivalent to using “Undo” multiple times.
Once the you have marked the required changes, there are two actions which can be performed on each task using action buttons namely “Skip” and “Submit”:
“Skip” button lets a user skip current task and go to the next unlabeled task. This comes handy when there is some mistake in source sentence or some confusion with the translation.
“Submit” button is used to submit the annotation for the present task.
*When a task is opened using “Label all tasks” button, the Submit button takes us to next unlabeled task.
When you open a task which is already annotated, while you want to make some changes to it, It will show an “Update” button instead of “Submit” button.

*Some of these hotkeys are for OCR Annotation tasks.
The Layout tab in Settings page is used to toggle settings for how this task dashboard looks.
You can change it as per your convenience.
“Move sidepanel to the bottom” allows you to change the placement of buttons and the text field.
*Note that Shoonya v0.1 supports limited functionalities, therefore you can ignore settings which don’t change the layout or shortcuts which don’t help. In upcoming versions, they will come to use.
