# Run Automation Recognition

😘 Run Recognition to allow automatic detection of faces in assets you are uploading or managing in the Library.

👉 HIVO streamlines and automates the asset tagging process by enabling facial recognition on assets that contain faces.

## Running the Face Detection Automation During Upload

Enable "Face Detection" under Automations in the Uploader's Asset Details step. This will automatically detect faces during upload.

## Running the Face Detection Automation from the Library

* Navigate to the [Libary](/library.md)
* Select the assets your wish to run the facial recognition scanner on
* Then Click "**Actions"**&#x20;
* Toggle on **"Detect Faces"** and **"Submit"** (Facial recognition processing may take some time to complete in the background.).
* Once the facial recognition has run, you will notice that the bounding box has appeared over faces on the [Asset Detail page](/assets/asset-detail-page.md) and you will be able to [Add Person and Tag the Face](/recognition/add-person-and-tagging-faces-directly-in-assets.md).

👉 Automatic facial recognition, combined with [searching and filtering with faces,](https://support.hivo.co/recognition/searching-and-filtering-with-faces) will help you find [Assets](https://support.hivo.co/assets) based on the names of people in assets quickly and accurately.
