Images need to be labeled consistently. To help Labelers understand how to label images, it is best practice to create a Label Book. A\*\* Label Book\*\* is a living document that allows you to define how to label various categories of Classes clearly.

## Classes Must Be Descriptive

To help Labelers understand how to label images, it is best practice to be as descriptive as possible in the Label Book. The following points are a few examples of information that you can include in a Class description:

* What does the object to be identified look like?
* What parts of the object should be labeled?
* How do you label objects that overlap?
* If you're labeling with bounding boxes, how close should you keep the box to the object?

Let's take a look at the example of washers below.

Since Labelers will be looking at two types of washers, it's important to describe each type thoroughly. For instance:

* (Left) Circular hardware with 8 grooves on the inner circle. Keep the bounding box as close as possible to the object without touching it.
* (Right) Circular hardware with 6 grooves on the inner circle. Keep the bounding box as close as possible to the object without touching it.

## Add Descriptions and Images to Classes

It's important to add descriptions and images to Classes. This information will be a reference point to ensure that all users label data similarly.

To add descriptions and images to Classes:

1. Open the Project you want to edit.
2. Click the **Actions** button (ellipses) and select **Manage Classes**.

3. Click the Class you want to update.

4. Click **Edit**.
   <img src="https://mintcdn.com/landinglens/HdZmNNXb6yecqmgJ/images/ManageLabelBook_3.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HdZmNNXb6yecqmgJ&q=85&s=de799535c65205ac2562dbe01bad1c0e" alt="ManageLabelBook_3" width="2126" height="984" data-path="images/ManageLabelBook_3.png" />
5. Enter a thorough description of the Class in the field provided.
6. Click an **Add Images option** to upload an example of the Class you are describing. For example, upload an image of this washer type if you are editing a description for a six-tooth washer.
   <img src="https://mintcdn.com/landinglens/HdZmNNXb6yecqmgJ/images/ManageLabelBook_4.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HdZmNNXb6yecqmgJ&q=85&s=34b141d07cff659b8e289b4dc242b4f6" alt="ManageLabelBook_4" width="1406" height="611" data-path="images/ManageLabelBook_4.png" />
7. You can update images as needed by hovering over the image and selecting the appropriate icon.
   <img src="https://mintcdn.com/landinglens/HdZmNNXb6yecqmgJ/images/ManageLabelBook_5.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HdZmNNXb6yecqmgJ&q=85&s=8f287e4f8020ae535af321784570adbd" alt="ManageLabelBook_5" width="688" height="497" data-path="images/ManageLabelBook_5.png" />
   * **Delete**: Delete the image.
   * **Edit**: You can add a label (like a bounding box) to the image. Then you can add a description of how to label objects.
     <img src="https://mintcdn.com/landinglens/HdZmNNXb6yecqmgJ/images/ManageLabelBook_6.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HdZmNNXb6yecqmgJ&q=85&s=5646cdade7f5bde00a641c85a88178fa" alt="ManageLabelBook_6" width="1745" height="1159" data-path="images/ManageLabelBook_6.png" />
   * **Hide**: If you've added labels to the image using the "Edit" feature, you can hide them by hovering over the "Hide" icon.
