If you care about _who_ did the annotations, you ideally want to be starting multiple sessions of Prodigy, e.g. on separate ports, one for each annotator. You can do this manually, or programmatically in Python, a Bash script, etc. Each annotator can then receive their own dedicated dataset, and you'll be able to compare their annotations to others, and keep track of who did what.

If you search for ["multiple annotators"](https://support.prodi.gy/search?q=%22multiple%20annotators%22), you'll find various strategies for implementing a workflow multiple consumers and one annotation task queue. Streams are just Python generators, so you could implement a check that looks at the `_task_hash`(the unique identifier of an annotation question), and only yields out the question if it's not already present in any of the other datasets.

You might also be interested in Prodigy Scale, an extension we've been working on that will let you manage annotation teams and build large datasets:

> Many of you have been asking about how to scale your Prodigy projects – including how to manage more annotators, how to keep multiple feeds running, and how to make sure your annotators stay in agreement. These are challenging problems that are outside of the scope of the [Prodigy](https://prodi.gy) software itself, so we've always planned an extension product that helps you use Prodigy in larger products. We've been quietly working away on this for some time, so we're excited to finally announce our progress! The …

In the meantime, you should also check out this open-source multi-user extension, developed by a fellow Prodigy user:
