Work that takes more than a moment does not block the page. It runs as a background job you can watch, leave, and come back to.
Where to find it
Open your account row in the navigation. The background jobs button sits there, and it carries a count while anything is running. Opening it slides out a list of everything currently in flight for the creator you are acting as.
What a row tells you
Each row names what is running (importing a video, building your idea deck, generating a script, refreshing your audience, moving your files, syncing) and shows a bar with a percentage and, where the estimate is honest, roughly how long is left. Some rows also name which deck they feed and who started them, because a job in this list may have been started by a teammate.
Leaving the page
Most jobs keep running after you navigate away or close the tab, and finish whether or not you are watching. Uploads are the exception: they run in your browser, so leaving the page cancels them. Terano AI asks before letting that happen.
Some jobs can be cancelled from the tray and some cannot. If a job has no Cancel button, that is because stopping it would leave the work half-done rather than because the button is missing.
When something fails
A failed job explains itself in plain terms and offers the action that fixes it. Common ones:
- A connection expired. Reconnect the platform and try again.
- Your balance ran out, or a spending cap was reached. The row links to Billing.
- The job stopped early but did some of the work. Whatever it produced is kept: an idea deal that stopped short still leaves the cards it dealt in your idea bank.
Where nothing you can do would help, the row offers to send us a report instead. Once a report has been filed for a job, that button goes away.
Rebuilding and refreshing
Several jobs exist only to bring something up to date, rebuilding your research map, refreshing topics, refreshing your audience, backfilling a video's history of view counts. These are started for you by the surface that needs them, and they show in the tray so a page that looks empty for a moment is explained rather than mysterious.
