Job Queue (Batches Page)
The Batches page shows all your batch operations — queued, running, completed, and failed. Navigate to it from the Batches link in the sidebar.
Job List
Operations are listed with the most recent first, updated in real time. Each job card shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Operation type | The action (Delete, Download, Permissions, etc.) with an icon |
| Status | Current state — see status table below |
| File count | Number of files targeted |
| Progress | A progress bar for running operations |
| Timestamps | When the operation was started and completed |
| Description | Summary of the operation's configuration |
Filtering by Status
Status filter chips at the top of the page let you narrow the list. Each chip shows a count of operations in that state. Click a chip to toggle filtering by that status.
Job Statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Queued | Waiting — another operation is currently running |
| Running | Processing files with a live progress bar |
| Pausing | Pause requested — will pause after the current file |
| Paused | Paused and can be resumed |
| Completed | All files processed |
| Verifying | Confirming changes with Google Drive |
| Failed | Encountered an error |
| Cancelled | Stopped before completion |
| Skipped | No files matched the filter |
Controlling Operations
| Action | When Available |
|---|---|
| Pause | Running operations — pauses after the current file finishes |
| Resume | Paused operations |
| Cancel | Queued, running, or paused operations |
| Pause All | Pauses every running operation |
| Resume All | Resumes all paused operations |
| Clear History | Removes completed, failed, and cancelled entries |
Viewing Results
Click View Results on a completed job to see:
- Summary — total files, successes, failures, and skipped items, displayed as counts and a breakdown bar
- Per-file status — each file with its individual outcome; failed files include the specific error message
- Retry — re-run the operation for just the failed files; the retry appears as a child entry grouped under the original
Retry Groups
When you retry failed files, the retry is grouped under the original operation. Expand the group to see the history of all retry attempts, each with its own status and results.
Background Verification
For operations that modify Google Drive data (delete, permissions, move, transfer), the system verifies changes in the background using Drive's Changes API. During verification the status shows "Verifying." Most verifications complete in seconds. No user action is needed.
Rollback
Some completed operations support rollback. When available, a rollback button appears on the job card. Clicking it creates a new operation that reverses the changes — for example, restoring deleted files from trash.
Queue Behavior
Operations execute one at a time, first-in first-out. You can queue as many operations as needed. The queue is persistent — if you close the app, operations resume on restart.
The queue runs in the background. You can navigate to other pages, browse files, or start additional operations without interrupting work in progress.
