You can now follow 3 simple steps to create a new task:

1. **Source**: Choose either a file from your PC or a whole folder to process from the local storage or S3.
   * To process a file from your PC, use the file selection option or simply drag and drop the file into the designated area.
   * To process a folder, enter its path in the field. The path you enter represents a subdirectory of the `LOCAL_STORAGE_INPUT_PATH` (or `STORAGE_S3_BUCKET` if you use S3 storage) set in the [Configuration](/2.15.0/blurit-on-premise/installation/configuration.md) section. Please ensure that the directory already exists and has some files in it. If you don't enter anything, BurIt OP will process files directly in `LOCAL_STORAGE_INPUT_PATH` (or `STORAGE_S3_BUCKET`)
2. **Blur options**: Select the desired task options from the following choices:
   * `Face anonymisation`
   * `Plates anonymisation`
   * `Coordinates` position
   * Add  `_anonymized` suffix
   * `Keep the audio track` (only for zip/directory/videos)
   * Processing report (zip files only)
     * This option allows you to include in the ZIP file a CSV summary indicating the anonymization success status for all the files that were part of the original ZIP
   * Keep the files that cannot be blured (zip files only)
     * This option allows you to keep, within the anonymized ZIP, the files with unsupported formats that cannot be processed by the software
3. **Output path**: Specify the desired output location, whether it's local storage or S3. You can either change the name of the output file or create a new directory in the output to store your processed media. As for the source, the directory you enter here represents a subdirectory of `LOCAL_STORAGE_OUTPUT_PATH` (or `STORAGE_S3_BUCKET` if you use S3 storage). If you don't enter anything, BurIt OP will save processed files directly in `LOCAL_STORAGE_OUTPUT_PATH` (or `STORAGE_S3_BUCKET`)
