# Label Set Management
With label set management, you can save and edit label sets outside a project. You can later reuse them in span labeling or conversational labeling projects.
Learn more about the [label set structure](/compatibility-and-updates/common-terminology.md#labeling-concepts).
## Label set management page
{% hint style="info" %}
Changes made in the **Label management** page are not automatically applied to existing projects.
{% endhint %}
In the **Label sets** tab, you can add new label sets, edit existing label sets, or delete them.
### Add label set
There are two ways to add label sets: upload a label set or create it from scratch.
#### Upload a label set
You can upload an existing label set by dragging and dropping the file into the upload area. Supported formats: `.csv` , `.json` , and `.tsv` .
Refer to the sample format below to ensure compatibility.
{% file src="/files/gQ6GKRYXFAirMMAiwlxu" %}
{% file src="/files/w4wT371LlXaY95ZX3rdo" %}
{% file src="/files/rktoNIvZEMF0VbmfUAkE" %}
#### Create label sets from scratch
You can also create a label set manually. The dialog includes two tabs: **Standard** and **JSON.** These tabs are synchronized, changes in one tab automatically update the other.
To create a label set in the **Standard** tab:
1. Type a label class.
2. Choose a label color by selecting a color from the dropdown.
3. Click the **Add clarification** icon and enter the description to add additional information.
### Edit label sets
To edit a label set:
1. Select the label set you want to edit.
2. Click the **Edit** icon on the right side.
3. Update the label items and their properties. You can:
1. Rename a label class by editing its name field.
2. Change the label color using the color dropdown.
3. Edit the clarification using the **Edit clarification** icon.
### Delete label sets
To delete a label set:
1\. Select one or multiple label sets.
2\. Click the **Delete** button at the top of the table to delete multiple label sets, or click the delete icon on the right side to delete a single label set.
3\. Confirm the action.
### Search label sets
You can search for label sets by entering keywords in the search bar.
## Use existing label sets during project creation
To use an existing label set when creating a project:
1. In step 3 of project creation, select **Span labeling** or **Conversational labeling**.
2. Click **Select from library** to use an existing label set from the **Label management** page.
3. After you select a label set, you can edit them. Any changes made here will not affect the original label set in the library.
## Update existing projects with existing label sets
After a project is created, you can modify the label set if needed. You can reuse label sets from the **Label management** page.
If the **Label set modification** setting is turned off, only admins or project owners can modify label sets. If it is turned on, labelers can also modify them. This setting is turned on by default.
