Inspect, download, and validate
Prove release integrity in the downstream consumer.
Unitlab processing success confirms the release was created; downstream validation confirms the release is useful. Both are required for acceptance.
Before you make the change
Know the expected item count, schema, geometry conventions, group behavior, splits, and source path model.
Use the same parser or consumer that production will use.
Define acceptance tolerances and the owner of a failed validation.
Release overview and data inspection
Inspect release metadata and sample content before download, then reproduce the same checks in the actual downstream environment.
Understand the product behavior
Data Space contains My Releases and Public Releases, toggled from the page header. A release detail contains Overview, Data, and—on private workspace releases—Settings.
Opening a release item uses a separate read-only annotation viewer for Image, Video, Audio, Text, Medical, or Document. It reuses the familiar modality surface but disables mutation. This lets teams inspect exactly what a release contains without accidentally changing the project history that produced it.
Making a release public requires license selection. Release deletion is permission- and subscription-gated. If the latest release version is deleted, the previous version becomes latest.
Export formats
Working converters include:
Data family
Supported formats
Image
COCO, YOLOv8, YOLOv5, UUEF
Video
COCO, YOLOv8, YOLOv5, UUEF

Document/PDF
UUEF only
Text
JSONL, UUEF
Audio
Audio JSON, RTTM, UUEF
Native single-family formats apply to one compatible family. A release containing more than one family must use UUEF or Standard Bundle.
UUEF is the universal full-fidelity format. It preserves properties, attributes, relations, item properties, tags, page/frame context, and the richer annotation graph.
Standard Bundle creates one ZIP containing a native output per selected family plus a manifest describing the release, source scope, selected types, split ratios, written files, and omitted empty combinations.
Default Standard Bundle choices are COCO for image/video/medical, JSONL for text, and Audio JSON for audio. Document data uses UUEF.
SDK export behavior
The SDK can:
create a release from a project;
specify export_type="UUEF";
define split ratios such as 80% train and 20% test;
list and retrieve releases;
download annotations for a selected split;
download associated files to a destination folder.
The SDK supports UUEF creation and split-aware annotation and file downloads. The complete release format matrix is shown above.
Accept the downstream handoff
1
1. Inspect in Unitlab
Review status, counts, version, project, sources, splits, format, settings, and representative items.
2
2. Download deliberately
Use the approved destination and source-handling method.
3
3. Parse the output
Load annotations, properties, relations, temporal data, groups, and source references with the production parser.
4
4. Check semantics and geometry
Compare representative output to the Workbench and ontology version.
5
5. Reconcile counts and splits
Confirm every expected item and no unintended item is present.
6
6. Record acceptance
Store release ID, version, source dataset versions, ontology, workflow, model versions, format, split policy, exclusions, and validation result.
Decisions that affect production
Decision
Production guidance
Mismatch
Stop consumption, isolate the scope, and determine whether the cause is source, project state, format mapping, processing, or parser behavior.
Correction
Create a new controlled release rather than altering a delivered artifact silently.
Retention
Retain enough metadata and artifacts to reproduce the handoff under the organization policy.
Consumer
Acceptance belongs to the real downstream owner.
Continue the operating flow
Promote the accepted release to its intended training or analysis pipeline.
Create a new version for any correction.
Use the release record during audit or model-reproduction work.
