You can specify a path to a folder for additional ControlNet models using the ControlNet settings. While you can use any folder in your cloud storage, we recommend creating a ControlNet under your `/a1111/models.`

1\. Navigate to your ``/a1111/models folder and create a new `ControlNet` folder.``

2\. Navigate to the `/a1111/models/ControlNet` folder and upload the *\***.safetensors*** file. Also upload the corresponding *\***.yaml*** file if it has one. For more info on uploading, click [here](https://learn.thinkdiffusion.com/thinkdiffusion-faqs/#how-to-upload-a-file-from-your-device)

3\. Go to the ***Settings*** tab

4\. Scroll down and click on the ***ControlNet*** menu item on the left side

5\. Add the inputs folder path to the "*Extra path to scan for ControlNet models* *(e.g. training output directory)*" field\
(you can easily copy the folder path via the link button next to the Input folder; it should be "../user\_data/a1111/models/ControlNet" if you are using the recommended path above )

6\. Apply the changes by clicking "**Apply settings**"

7\. In the ControlNet section, click the 🔄 **refresh** button next the "Model" dropdown. You will have to do this separately for txt2img and img2img.

Your ControlNet model should now be available in the dropdown list.
