# Track an upload and its processing

Every upload shows in the **Uploads** panel at the bottom right of the page, where you can pause or cancel it. When a file has uploaded, revis.io processes it for playback, and its tile shows **Processing...** until it's ready.

::: info Before you start

* **Who:** anyone who uploads files: the organization's Owners, Admins, and Members, and the project's Project Admins and Contributors.
* **Where:** the web app.
* **You need:** an upload in progress, from [adding media](/uploading/add-media-to-a-review) or [a new version](/uploading/upload-a-new-version).
  :::

## Follow your uploads

The **Uploads** panel opens when an upload starts. Its header shows how many files are done out of the total, for example **Uploads (2/5)**. Select the header to collapse or expand the panel.

| A file shows | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **Waiting...** | It's queued behind other files. |
| Its progress, for example 120 MB / 800 MB | It's uploading. |
| **Paused** | You paused it. |
| **Complete** | It has uploaded. revis.io now processes it. |

* To pause or resume a file, select **Pause** or **Resume** next to it.
* To stop a file, select **Cancel**. revis.io removes the file's tile, or, for a new version, keeps the current version.
* To tidy the list, select **Clear completed**.

If a file fails to upload, revis.io shows **Upload failed:** with the file's name and takes the file off the list. Upload it again; [An upload stopped, vanished, or failed](/troubleshooting/an-upload-or-file-failed) explains the common causes.

::: warning Keep the tab open
Uploads run in this browser tab. While a file is waiting, paused, or uploading, closing or reloading the tab asks you to confirm. If you leave anyway, the upload stops and can't resume: upload the file again.

## Read the processing state

After the upload, each item's tile shows where processing stands:

| The tile shows | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **Processing...** | revis.io is preparing the file for playback. There's no percentage. |
| The item's preview | It's ready. |
| A small warning sign at the top | It plays, but some previews couldn't be made. Point to the sign to read why. |
| A red overlay with a warning sign | Processing failed. Point to the overlay to read why, for example "This image is too large to process. Try a smaller resolution." |

There's no retry for a failed file. Fix it if the reason says how, then upload it again.
