# Manage Batches

## Batches in BinaExperts

Once you upload your data to [BinaExperts](https://binaexperts.com/en), the uploaded data becomes a batch. Batches are groups of images that you can easily track throughout the dataset process in BinaExperts. You can monitor this process on the Annotate page.

## Managing Batches

·        Once images are uploaded, they appear in the "Unassigned" column.

&#x20;       o   You can assign the batch to someone for annotation, moving it to the "Annotating" column.

·        If you assign only part of the batch, the remaining images will be placed in a new batch in the "Unassigned" column.

·        After the annotation is completed, the batch is either sent to the "Review" column (for users with review permissions) or to the "Dataset" column.

·        In the "Review" column, batches are either approved or rejected. Approved batches move to the "Dataset" column, while rejected batches return to the "Annotating" column for further work.

## Deleting a Batch

{% hint style="danger" %}
Note: Deletions are permanent and cannot be undone. Please ensure you are certain before proceeding.
{% endhint %}

You can delete batches by marked the image next to the batch name and clicking "**Delete Batch**".

Batch deletion behaves differently depending on where the batch is in the annotation process:

**Unassigned Column:** If the batch is in the "Unassigned" column, both the batch and the images within it will be permanently deleted from the project.

**Annotating, QC, Dataset Columns:** If the batch is in one of these columns, it will be moved back to the "Unassigned" column, and all annotations associated with the images will be removed.

·        To fully remove a batch from these columns, you must click "**Delete Batch**" twice: first to move it back to the "Unassigned" column, and then again to delete it from the "Unassigned" column.

·        This process is required if you wish to relabel a batch. &#x20;
