### **Uploading Blueprints**
The blueprint must consist of a single image file that can be selected from the user's computer/mobile and must be of the jpg, png, bmp, or heic file format. If the blueprint is uploaded as a pdf, the blueprint must appear on the first page of the file.
#### **Steps to upload the blueprint:**
****
1\. Click on **Blueprints** in the sidebar.
2\. Then press on **Add a new blueprint** and choose the file you want to upload.
3\. Once you have uploaded the blueprint, it will immediately open in **Edit mode.**
#### **Add sensors:**
****
4\. All the sensors in the project will appear in the **Add project sensors field**. You can also search for specific sensors by entering their ID or description in the search bar.
5\. To attach sensors to the blueprint you can just drag and drop them to the desired location.
6\. Remember to press **Confirm changes** to save your edits.
### **Important tips**
- Ensure the blueprint file is in the correct format (JPG, PNG, BMP, HEIC, or the first page of a PDF).
- Organizing blueprints and sensors by group improves management and clarity.
