| 6 | +## What you will do |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +In this walkthrough you will create an annotation label, set up a queue, add traces to it, and annotate your first item. The entire flow takes about 5 minutes. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +<Steps> |
| 11 | + <Step title="Create an annotation label"> |
| 12 | + Navigate to **Annotations** in the left sidebar, then open the **Labels** tab. Click **Create Label**. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +  |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + Fill in the form: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | + | Field | Value | |
| 19 | + |-------|-------| |
| 20 | + | Name | `Sentiment` | |
| 21 | + | Type | Categorical | |
| 22 | + | Options | `Positive`, `Negative`, `Neutral` | |
| 23 | + | Allow Notes | Enabled | |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + Click **Create** to save. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +  |
| 28 | + </Step> |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + <Step title="Create a queue"> |
| 31 | + Switch to the **Queues** tab and click **Create Queue**. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + | Field | Value | |
| 34 | + |-------|-------| |
| 35 | + | Name | `Review Queue` | |
| 36 | + | Labels | Select the `Sentiment` label you just created | |
| 37 | + | Assignment Strategy | Round Robin | |
| 38 | + | Annotators | Add yourself | |
| 39 | + | Annotations Required | 1 | |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + Click **Create** to save the queue. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +  |
| 44 | + </Step> |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + <Step title="Add items to the queue"> |
| 47 | + Go to your **Observe** project and open the **LLM Tracing** view. Select one or more traces using the checkboxes, then click the **Add to Queue** button in the toolbar. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + In the dialog, choose **Review Queue** and confirm. The selected traces are now queue items with a **Pending** status. |
| 50 | + </Step> |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | + <Step title="Start annotating"> |
| 53 | + Go back to **Annotations > Queues** and click on **Review Queue** to open its detail page. Click **Start Annotating**. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + The annotation workspace loads the first pending item. You will see: |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | + - The trace content on the left. |
| 58 | + - The annotation panel on the right with your `Sentiment` label. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | + Select an option (e.g. **Positive**), optionally add a note, and click **Submit**. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +  |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + The workspace automatically advances to the next item. You can also click **Skip** to move past an item you cannot annotate. |
| 65 | + </Step> |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | + <Step title="Review progress"> |
| 68 | + Click the **Analytics** tab on the queue detail page to see completion rates, annotator activity, and label distribution. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +  |
| 71 | + </Step> |
| 72 | +</Steps> |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +<Tip> |
| 75 | +**Keyboard shortcuts** speed up annotation significantly: |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +- **Ctrl+Enter** (or Cmd+Enter) -- Submit the current annotation |
| 78 | +- **1-9** -- Select a categorical option by its position |
| 79 | +- **S** -- Skip the current item |
