# Use LandingEdge with LandingLens on Snowflake

Users of both LandingLens and {llsf} can use LandingEdge to run inference.
Most of the LandingEdge processes are the same for both LandingLens and {llsf}—you choose an image source, an action that triggers inference, and the LandingLens model that runs inference.
**The only difference occurs if you want to run LandingEdge "online"**. This means that LandingEdge uses an Internet connection to load the model from {llsf}. Running LandingEdge online also allows you to upload inference results back to {llsf}, so that you can save images to your project in a process called Continuous Learning.
If you want to run LandingEdge online with {llsf}, follow the instructions in this article. Otherwise, if you want to run LandingEdge "offline", follow the general instructions in [Manage Inspection Points](./manage-inspection-points).
LandingEdge v2.8.45.0 and later supports {llsf}.
## Considerations for Running LandingEdge Online with {llsf}
If you enable running LandingEdge online with {llsf}, you will *only* be able to use LandingEdge to run models online with {llsf}. You won't be able to run models offline or run models from the LandingAI-hosted version of LandingLens until you disable the connection with {llsf}.
## Set Up an Online Connection with LandingLens on Snowflake
If you want to run LandingEdge online with {llsf}, set up a connection between the two applications using the following instructions:
1. Open LandingEdge.
2. Click the **Settings** (gear) icon in the top right corner of the LandingEdge homepage.
3. Click **Snowflake**.
4. Select the **Use Snowflake** checkbox.
5. Fill out the fields:
* **Snowflake App URL**: Enter the fully qualified domain of your instance of {llsf}. For example, the URL could be `https://example.snowflakecomputing.app/`.
* **Snowflake Account**: Enter your Snowflake account [locator](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/admin-account-identifier#format-2-account-locator-in-a-region). One way to find your account locator is to open a worksheet in Snowsight and run `SELECT CURRENT_ACCOUNT();`. For more information, go to the [Snowflake documentation](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/functions/current_account).
* **Snowflake Username**: Enter your Snowflake username as it appears in your Snowsight profile. (This is the `NAME` property in Snowflake.)
6. Click **Generate New Private Key**. LandingEdge creates a private key and saves it to your hard drive.
7. Click **Copy Public Key**. (You will later assign the public key to yourself in Snowflake.)
8. If you're using AWS PrivateLink or your Snowflake account locator has underscores, select the **Use AWS PrivateLink** checkbox.
9. Click **Save**.
10. Assign the public key to yourself in Snowflake. To learn how to do this, go to the [Snowflake documentation](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/key-pair-auth#assign-the-public-key-to-a-snowflake-user).
11. To verify that LandingEdge successfully connected to {llsf}, set up an inspection point. If your projects display in the **Project Connected to** drop-down menu, the connection works. If you don't see any projects, check if all Snowflake account information was entered correctly.

## Set Up an "Online" Inspection Point
After you've set up the [Snowflake settings](./landingedge-snowflake#set-up-an-online-connection-with-landinglens-on-snowflake) in LandingEdge, you can set up Inspection Points, which are the sets of information needed to deploy models in LandingEdge. For the most part, you can follow the instructions in [Manage Inspection Points](./manage-inspection-points) to set up an Inspection Point. The only difference is how you fill out the **Cloud Connection** and **Model** settings:
1. Select your project from the **Project Connected to** drop-down menu.
2. Select **Download from LandingLens**.
3. Click **Select**.
4. Select the model you want to use and click **Download Model**.
5. LandingEdge loads the model. When this is complete, the **Model successfully loaded message** displays and the **Run Now** button becomes active.
6. Continue setting up the Inspection Point.
## Disable the Online Connection with {llsf}
If you no longer want LandingEdge to be connected to {llsf}, deselect the **Use Snowflake** checkbox on LandingEdge's Snowflake settings page. This disconnects all Inspection Points that were connected to {llsf}.
