+Using a phone or camera to capture training images can be more convenient than capturing them with Vizy itself.  It's straightforward -- just follow these steps:
-  - **Capture the relevant training pictures with your phone or camera**.  This is straightforward with the Google Photos App.  It will automatically upload any pictures that you take on your phone to your Google Photos account.  Similarly, you can upload photos from your camera into your Google Photos account by first downloading them into your computer and then uploading them to Google Photos through your browser.

   - **Import album pictures into your Object Detector project**.  This will copy the images in the Google Photos album into the training set of the currently open project.  Start by selecting **Import photos...** from the **File** menu, then type the name of the album into the text box as shown below.  {{wiki:image_1410.jpg}}
-After clicking on **Import**, Vizy will locate the album, retrieve the images, and add them to the end of the training set, so go to the last page(s) of the training set to see the imported images.  Bear in mind that the album name is case-sensitive.  If Vizy has trouble finding the album, make sure you can see the album from the Google Photos page while logged in via your Vizy's Google account.  You can then [[wiki:object_detector_app_3#labeling}label the images]] as before.  Easy-peasy!

+===== Exporting, importing, and sharing CNN projects =====
+Through the powers of the Internet (and Google Drive), you can export your project and share your CNN efforts with others.  And they can import your project to evaluate, improve, and share it back with you and possibly others.  When exporting a project, all of the training set images, models, and settings are zipped up and uploaded to Google Drive.  (Note, the detection images are not included when you export a project.)
+==== Exporting a project ====
+From the **File** menu select **Export project...** to bring up the export dialog.  Click the **Export** button.  Vizy will then get busy zipping up the project and copying it to Google Drive.  When it's finished it will present you will a **Copy share key** button.
+{{wiki:image_1412.jpg}}
+Pressing this will copy the "share key" to your clipboard.  The share key is just a jumble of text.  You can save the key to a text file, email it, etc.  With this key, someone can import your project.
+==== Importing a project ====
+From the **File** menu select **Import project...** to bring up the import dialog.  Copy the share key into the text box and click the **Import** button.  Vizy will then get busy downloading the zip file, unzipping, and installing the project.  Easy!

 ===== Customized handlers =====
-For more advanced users who want to add their own custom features, the Object Detection application has handler code for various events and for text messages.  The handler code is in ''/home/pi/vizy/apps/object_detector/handlers.py''.  Note, you can bring up the handler code easily from [[wiki:vizy_editor#Text editor|Vizy's built-in text editor]] by clicking on the ☰ button in the text editor and selecting ''handlers.py''.  Note also, once you change ''handlers.py'' you can simply click reload/refresh on your browser and Vizy will automatically restart the application and your code changes will take effect.
