Access my observations

On the mobile version

In the mobile app, you can view all your data in the Profile section once you are logged into your account. There you will find your observation history, as well as detailed information about each one.

On the Web version

On the web version, you can download all of your observations via the My data section. This download allows you to perform more in-depth analyses using other tools or to share your data with collaborators. Simply click on the Export button to obtain a .csv or .xlsx file containing all your observations.

Filter and organize your data

The application offers many options to filter your data, allowing you to quickly find specific information. You can filter your observations according to different criteria, such as:

• Shared: Observations you have chosen to share with the community.

• Geolocated: Those with a precise location.

• Determined: Observations that have been successfully identified.

• Organs: Based on the plant organs photographed (leaf, flower, fruit, etc.).

• Validated and revised: Observations validated by other users or modified after revision.

• Messages: Observations that contain messages or comments.

• Groups: Observations added to a specific group.

• Determination and vote: Based on community identifications or votes.

• Date: Sorting by observation date.

Visualization on a map

You can also visualize your observations on an interactive map. This allows you to see the geographic distribution of your observations.

Preservation of your data

When you create an account on Pl@ntNet and share your observations, they are saved in the application and accessible at any time. You can go back to your old observations and modify them if necessary.

Edit a shared observation

You can modify the identification (the determination) of an observation that has already been shared.

On mobile

1. Open your observation by tapping “Details”.

2. Tap Enter species.

3. Type a new plant name (binomial name).

On the web

1. Open your observation by clicking on it.

2. Type a new plant name (binomial name) in the “Species name” text field.

The initially proposed species name will be updated. You can also edit the locality and the comment field. The determination of the observation may eventually depend on the votes of other users. More information here.

Delete an observation

You can delete an observation from its details page. On mobile, use the ”…” menu at the top right, and on the web, the “Actions” section at the bottom right.

It is currently not possible to delete a single image from a shared observation.

Unshared observations

Observations made from your mobile, but not shared on the platform, are stored locally on your device. You will not be able to view them from other devices and they will be lost if you change phones!

Export your observations

On the web version only, you can download all your observations for your own analyses. In the “My data” section, click on “Export as”, then choose the format (CSV or XLSX).
