# Interactive Validations

The Interactive Validation performs checks on annotations data before the task moves to the next stage and can be configured during the setup phase ([label validation](/3d-multi-sensor-fusion/labeling/category-schema/label-validation.md)). It uses pre-defined validations set during the setup and highlights potential issues. The tool allows users to view, validate, and fix problems interactively without leaving the annotation workspace.

## Use Cases

* Quality Assurance: Automatically catch incomplete or incorrect annotations
* Progression Control: Block data from progressing to the next stage (e.g., internal review, customer auditing) if it fails basic validation
* Consistency Check: Ensures consistency in object properties across frames and sequences
* Customer Business Rule: Enforce project-specific rules without manual checks
* Real Time Feedback: Show validation errors as annotators work, enabling faster correction

***

## Benefits

* Prevents invalid or incomplete annotations from progressing
* Saves time by linking validation errors directly to their locations
* Customizable per workflow to match specific project needs
* Non-disruptive: user can keep the report open while annotating
