I would like to have drop-down for annotation interfaces like what I see in prodigy demo. Is there anyways to do it ? Like, I want to have both Manual and non-manul NER option avaliable like I see in the demo on the site. Should i pass multiple view\_id or ?

At the moment, there are two interface options:

- `ner`: Annotate incoming `"spans"`, normally used via the `ner.teach` recipe.
- `ner_manual`: Annotate raw, tokenized text and set `"spans"`, normally used via the `ner.manual` recipe.

The two interfaces can’t be combined at the moment – i.e. you can’t correct and manually annotate already existing spans using the manual interface. However, this is already planned for the next version, as a new and improved version of the `ner.make-gold` recipe ([see my comment here](https://support.prodi.gy/t/demo-fully-manual-ner-annotation-interface/174/31) for details.)
