Backup and Restore

 

Generative AI Lab 6.8 introduces new features designed for users migrating from NLP Lab onto the newest version of Generative AI Lab. With the new Backup and Restore feature, you can transfer projects, annotated data, models, and configurations to the Generative AI Lab 6.8 and above. Simply back up your projects and resources to cloud storage services like Azure Blob or AWS S3, then restore them directly into the new environment, entirely through the user interface.

This release also introduces other small enhancements to existing features, including a “None” option in the de-identification dropdown, allowing you to label text without altering the original content. We’ve also added a helpful visual indicator for labels with associated annotation guidelines—now marked with a colored dot matching the label’s color.

Migrate your NLP Lab Backup to Generative AI Lab

Migration to the new version is now a seamless process. Users of the NLP Lab can transfer their models, projects, annotated data and configuration settings to the Generative AI Lab using our Backup and Restore feature.
