Tracking assist is available when annotating [3D boxes](docId\:jw2JFJ5i04upVcc7hv3Ek) in sequences. 

When you have annotated two frames, this feature will automatically start extrapolating the object's position after the last keyframe or before the first keyframe. `Clicking` on the predicted box will update the object's location to that of the prediction. You can also use the keyboard shortcut 'accept copilot prediction' to update the object's location (default shortcut `R`). High-frequency data (> 5 Hz) allows for better tracking.

Using the "[Follow selected object](https://docs.kognic.com/view-menu#-Zq7D)" camera mode will follow the predicted box helping you with navigation to the object in the scene.

## Drawing process

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Annotate an object in a frame where it's visible.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Step 1 frame forwards or backwards.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Translate and rotate the object to fit the new location.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Stepping forwards or backwards in the sequence now will show the tracking assist box. 
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Step a few frames forward or backwards, click on the predicted box to accept it - quickly transforming the 3D box to the new location. [Auto-adjust object (3D)](docId\:FhiS5UL2p3AytWYuE-x2r) will be used if configured as well.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Repeat step 5 until you're done.
