# Manual Panel Adjustment

Review and adjust which panels get scanned.

This feature allows you to automatically adjust, update, or delete image panels canned for integrity issues. While our algorithm automatically extracts figures and sub-image panels to check for integrity issues, you can use this feature for transparency - to see what will be scanned and to adjust the image areas if needed.&#x20;

***

After selecting your file to be scanned, you can open the panel editor (“Adjust panels”). Imagetwin will then automatically show the figure and sub-image boxes that you can adjust.&#x20;

* Sub-images: individual panels or sections within a composite research figure. Out software analyzes both entire figures and sub-images for potential integrity issues. Common sub-image types are, for example, western blots, FACS plots, or microscopy image panels.&#x20;
* Figures: refer to actual figures within your paper, typically labeled with a number and caption. Imagetwin compares figures against our figures in our image database to detect reuse across papers&#x20;

You can open the manual panel adjustment on the scan page after selecting a paper.&#x20;

In this example, one figure (the red box) and six subimages (blue boxes) have been correctly labeled. Therefore, no manual adjustment is necessary. <br>

In this example, the automatic extraction missed one subimage - the western blot in the last row. You can draw a new subimage using the button in the top bar.
