# Labeling Guidelines

The **Labeling guidelines** extension contains the instructions that labelers should follow during labeling tasks.

Guidelines can be uploaded in `.txt`, `.md`, or `.pdf` format.

For guidelines uploaded in **Markdown (`.md`) format**, the extension supports anchor link navigation. This allows users to navigate long guidelines using table of contents links that jump directly to specific sections within the document.

{% hint style="info" %}
The maximum guideline file size is **1 MB**.
{% endhint %}

There are three ways to add guidelines:

1. Drag and drop a file into the file uploader in the extension.
2. Upload a file by clicking **Browse files.**
3. Choose a file from the library by clicking **Recently used** from the triple-dot menu.

Uploading a new guideline will replace the existing guideline.
