I am following the ebook but using my own data in neo4j desktop 2.0. I can't seem to use bloom I get "We couldn't find a license for the Neo4j Bloom Server. Please check with system administrator". Did anyone encounter this issue. Also in Query, most nodes are same color because even if they have many different labels, they all share the same label " **KGBuilder**". Any idea how to fix that issue ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/1/e/1ec97adf0dcabceb85870065b97458982910fbbd.png) ---

Hi Nawar, are you connected to a remote non-Aura instance when trying to use the Explore tool? It should work fine if using a local or Aura instance, and if you have NOT installed the Bloom Plugin - this plugin is only required for using more advanced Bloom features for sharing and collaboration as a team. Try uninstalling the Bloom plugin (if it's installed), and then stop/start your instance. Thanks ---

Really enjoyed the Developerā€™s Guide and the GraphRAG Build Challenge, great insights and fun to implement! Iā€™ve attached my submission, thanks for the opportunity! P.S. Apologies for the long format, I originally wrote it as a PDF, but only later realized Discord only accepts images. I'm new to Discord, so I ended up converting all 14 pages to JPEGs and sending the first 10 and not including teh Appendix, sorry it's a bit clunky! šŸ«£ ![Final_report-01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/b/1/b13ba190d7364adae7e260eb2e0cd9c99dfa08f5.jpeg) ![Final_report-02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/5/4/54f6627aa92dd7a6a0ba84cb007af2271dc40abf.jpeg) ![Final_report-03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/1/4/14a520d0ea73a435bb7f79c240de03b4ac212e12.jpeg) ![Final_report-04](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/3/c/3c2210e3ef073eeb12842e54e6f99981f226587a.jpeg) ![Final_report-05](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/0/5/054fa8b6570e7f0fb22512caeb305574abbf82ad.jpeg) ![Final_report-06](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/6/9/6984187259d5205c165056c07d085f96b10d8af2.jpeg) ![Final_report-07](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/3/7/372474d277e27cb8987f48931dd4c457e50ed64b.jpeg) ![Final_report-08](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/8/e/8ec6e1893bb4e9886f9ca643e48de3a7dacb6c58.jpeg) ![Final_report-09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/f/7/f71dba4af8f7b543e49c20ae05c40820db0e7fe8.jpeg) ![Final_report-10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/f/3/f3c0ff6b8ec74e45ebf5eeb1e118613439bf0aab.jpeg) ---
