# How do I tell transfers apart in the Data Transfers list?

Each row shows an icon for the operation (Copy, Move, Sync, Bidirectional sync or Download), shortened source → destination names, and a coloured state pill. Running rows add a small progress bar with the amount transferred and speed. The newest transfers are at the top.

Select a row to see the full source and destination paths, when it was created, and every setting it used.
