 **7.Name the Session**
 
+- Let's call this 'sample_session'
+
+- This is the name of the folder that will be saved in `CoastSeg/sessions`
+
+- It will contain a subdirectory for each ROI that shorelines will be extracted for
+
 **8.Download the ROIs**
 
 - Click the ROIs you want to download on the map ( they will turn blue when selected)
 
-- Make sure there are transects inside the ROI you have selected otherwise you won't be able to extract shorelines
-
 - If no transects or reference shorelines are available for the region you have uploaded follow the guide here
 
 - NEVER rename your ROIs this is because CoastSeg keeps track of the filename in the 'config.json' and you won't be able to load it into CoastSeg again if you do. The ROI's ID is the filename so that information will be lost if you rename it.

 ## Apply Tidal Correction to Extracted Shorelines (Optional)
 
 **1.Download the tide model**

+- Select the feature you want on the map.
+
+**2.Click the load button from under 'Load Feature from File'**

+
+**3.Select a geoJSON file containing the feature**
+
+- If the geojson file is too large or has too many large features the map may become very slow. It is highly recommended to only load small features onto the map.
