Danger Zone

Project → Settings → Danger Zone, or the Danger Zone entry at the end of the project dashboard.

Deliberate, hard-to-undo operations. Each sits behind a typed confirmation so an accidental click doesn't wipe data — or money.

Accept all pending annotations​

Accepts every unreviewed annotation in one action and credits the annotators in the contribution ledger — straight to the pay process. The confirmation shows the exact pending / flagged counts and requires typing "accept". Tasks with an open review-queue item (crowd reports, QC routing, low agreement, outliers, manual flags) are always skipped and still need review. Cancelled (skipped) annotations and already-reviewed ones are untouched; the manager's own annotations are accepted but never self-credited. Cannot be bulk-undone. See Accept all pending for the full rules.

Gated to people who can manage the project: Owner, Admin, Manager, the project creator, and platform staff.

Reset cache​

Recomputes the project's cached label / annotation summary from scratch. Use it when you can't save a labeling-config change because of validation errors about labels that no longer exist. Confirmation word: cache. Runs as a background job; nothing is deleted.

Drop all tabs​

Deletes every saved Data Manager tab (filters, sorts, column layouts) for the project. Tasks and annotations are untouched. Confirmation word: tabs.

Delete project​

Deletes the project and everything in it — tasks, annotations, predictions, drafts, comments, uploaded files — immediately. There is no soft delete, retention window, or undo.

  • Reversible: no
  • Effect on annotators: the project disappears from their list at once; anyone mid-task gets a "project unavailable" response
  • Effect on exports: in-progress export jobs fail
  • Effect on webhooks: a PROJECT_DELETED event fires on subscribed webhooks

Confirmation word: delete. The deletion is recorded in the platform audit log as project.delete and org admins are notified.

Bulk Delete annotations / tasks / predictions from this page is not available — those buttons are disabled. Use the Data Manager's bulk actions instead (select tasks → Delete Annotations / Delete Tasks / Delete Predictions).

Why these are gated​

These actions affect real labelling work that took real annotator time. Accepting hundreds of items blind, or deleting a project a team spent weeks on, is the kind of mistake that's hard to recover from at scale. Tab + typed confirmation is intentional friction — fast for a deliberate operator, slow for an accidental click.

What's NOT in Danger Zone​

A few destructive operations that live elsewhere:

  • Remove members — Settings → Members (per-member confirm)
  • Disconnect cloud storage — Settings → Cloud Storage (data not deleted, just disconnected)
  • Delete annotations / tasks / predictions in bulk — Data Manager selection footer
  • Delete a labelling config — not possible directly; replace the config to "delete" the old one

For org-level destructive operations (transfer ownership, delete the whole org), see Platform → Orgs.
