# Enabling Online Learning

> Enable Online Learning for Document and Classification skills in ABBYY Vantage to improve accuracy using corrections made during Manual Review.

Enable Online Learning for skills producing poor classification or field-extraction results. Online Learning can significantly improve accuracy, but may slow down document processing.

You enable Online Learning when configuring a Process skill. Configure it separately for Classification skills and Document skills.

<Note>
  Online Learning relies on corrections made during Manual Review, so the Process skill must include a Manual Review step.
</Note>

## Enable Online Learning

Select the skill and turn on **Collect documents and learn** in either the **Actions** pane or the skill preview pane.

<Note>
  Online Learning is not available for skills designed to process structured documents. For these skills, the **Collect documents and learn** option is disabled — the system still collects documents, but does not learn from them.
</Note>

## If Manual Review is not configured

If your Process skill does not include a **Manual Review** activity, the **Collect documents and learn** toggle is grayed out and the **Actions** pane displays this message:

</Frame>

<Note>
  If the same skill is used in multiple Process skills, turn on **Collect documents and learn** in each Process skill. This ensures that the skill benefits from Online Learning regardless of which Process skill is active.
</Note>

## After enabling Online Learning

After you enable Online Learning and operators begin making corrections during manual review, the system starts accumulating documents in the skill's training set. Online Learning results appear in the **Results** tab of the Classification Skill Editor or the Document Skill Editor. You can also review the collected documents directly in the Skill Editor.
