# Self-Unassign

The **Self-Unassign** feature allows users to remove themselves from a project they are currently assigned to. This is useful in situations such as inability to complete the task, the need to prioritize other responsibilities, or an incorrect or accidental assignment.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Notes**

* Self-Unassign works only when the **Self-Assignment** setting is **enabled**.
* The project must be **active**. Unassignment is not allowed for completed projects.
* Unassignment is **disabled** if all documents in the project are **marked as completed**, preventing users from unassigning themselves from finished tasks.
  {% endhint %}

## How Labelers Can Self-Unassign

Labelers can self-unassign documents from multiple places: the **Assigned Projects** tab or **directly within the project**.

### **Assigned Projects Tab**

Labelers can unassign themselves from their currently assigned projects by following these steps:

1. Open the **Projects** page.
2. Go to the **Assigned projects** tab to view the projects and click on the three-dot icon of the desired project.
3. Select **Unassign incomplete documents**.

4. If the documents include a mix of labeled and unlabeled ones, a selection is required to determine which documents to unassign. However, if all documents are either fully labeled or unlabeled, click **Unassign documents**.

### **Within the Project**

Labelers can unassign themselves from within the project by following these steps:

1. Open the project.
2. Click the **File** menu and select **Unassign incomplete documents.**

3. If the documents include a mix of labeled and unlabeled ones, a selection is required to determine which documents to unassign. However, if all documents are either fully labeled or unlabeled, click **Unassign documents**.

## How Admins and Supervisors Can Self-Unassign as Labelers

Aside from Labelers, Admins and Supervisors can also self-unassign tasks from the **Projects** page or **within the project** itself.

### Projects Page

They can unassign themselves from their currently assigned projects by following these steps:

1. Open the **Projects** page.
2. Click on the three-dot icon of the desired project and select **Unassign incomplete documents.**

   ![](https://448889121-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MbjY0HseEqu7LtYAt4d%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e368cc7f636695bb745400a2a8dc90c1407008de%2FSelf-assignment%20-%20project%20-%20admin%20-%20more%20menu%20-%20unassign%20incomplete%20documents.png?alt=media)
3. If the documents include a mix of labeled and unlabeled ones, a selection is required to determine which documents to unassign. However, if all documents are either fully labeled or unlabeled, click **Unassign documents**.

### **Within the Project**

The process is the same as for labelers, except that admins or supervisors must ensure they are in labeler mode in order for the unassign menu to appear. Refer to the [section above](#within-the-project) for details.
