Hello!

1. I’m working on detecting potatoes and came across a partially labeled dataset on Roboflow Universe.

2. I am using the latest SAM to label data, and I have labeled some images. Now I want to train the Yolo model with just those newly labeled images instead of all the images.

3. I see no option to filter out images when generating a new dataset. How do I select only a few images to generate a new dataset?

4. Apart from this, I want to know if I can use this segmentation labeling for object detection using Yolov8.
