In Frigate, you can use an environment variable or a docker secret named `PLUS_API_KEY` to enable the `Frigate+` buttons on the Explore page. Home Assistant Addon users can set it under Settings > Add-ons > Frigate > Configuration > Options (be sure to toggle the "Show unused optional configuration options" switch).
You cannot use the `environment_vars` section of your Frigate configuration file to set this environment variable. It must be defined as an environment variable in the docker config or Home Assistant Add-on config.
Once your API key is configured, you can submit examples directly from the Explore page in Frigate. From the More Filters menu, select "Has a Snapshot - Yes" and "Submitted to Frigate+ - No", and press Apply at the bottom of the pane. Then, click on a thumbnail and select the Snapshot tab.
You can use your keyboard's left and right arrow keys to quickly navigate between the tracked object snapshots.
You can view all of your submitted images at [https://plus.frigate.video](https://plus.frigate.video). Annotations can be added by clicking an image. For more detailed information about labeling, see the documentation on [improving your model](../plus/improving_model.md).
Once you have [requested your first model](../plus/first_model.md) and gotten your own model ID, it can be used with a special model path. No other information needs to be configured for Frigate+ models because it fetches the remaining config from Frigate+ automatically.
You can either choose the new model from the Frigate+ pane in the Settings page of the Frigate UI, or manually set the model at the root level in your config:
If needed, you can override the labelmap for Frigate+ models. This is not recommended as renaming labels will break the Submit to Frigate+ feature if the labels are not available in Frigate+.
