Follow and cancel a job

Follow work after leaving its collection or import dialog. See Jobs for states, access and retention.

1. Open View job in the starting notification, or go to Settings › This instance › Jobs and open the Jobs tab, then the job; a group of related jobs opens first, and its jobs under it. Check Workspace and Requested by before acting.
2. Read State and progress. A preview waiting for confirmation has not written its proposed changes. Review the items before choosing Load the file for an import or Apply for a bulk preview. A running job updates while the page stays open.
3. To stop remaining work, use Cancel job, Cancel import for a waiting import, or Cancel preview for a waiting batch preview. Read the confirmation, then choose Stop the job for running work or Discard the import / Discard the preview for a waiting preview. From the Jobs list, choose Cancel job in its confirmation. Keep the job, Keep the preview or Keep the import dismisses that confirmation.
4. Wait for the state to settle. Cancel requested is still pending. Already committed chunks remain applied: inspect the final counts rather than assuming cancellation undoes them.
5. For an export that completed, read The file and choose Download. For an import or batch, read refused and unprocessed items and their reasons. Fix the source and preview again before retrying work.

If the job failed, read Why it failed. Loss of the requester’s permissions can stop a job; a changed change set can stop its next chunk. Expired previews require a fresh preview. Retained results and files disappear after their retention; download what you need in time.
