# Curating Annotations

> Turn analysis results into persistent document metadata

Annotations are scoped to a run. \
Curating them makes them permanent qualities of our data.

Curated results become **persistent fragments** - metadata pinned to the asset. Subsequent runs see them as context.

## How to

From the results table of a run dashboard:

1. **Review the extraction** - Check it's accurate and useful, set filters
2. **Click "Curate"** - Converts annotations to persistent fragments
3. **Confirm** - Fragment is now attached to the asset (see above)
