How do I pause, resume or cancel moves in Data Parking?

\n

Short answer: Use Pause, Resume and Cancel All in the Moves panel header. Pause lets running copies finish but starts nothing new; Cancel All stops everything cleanly. Originals aren't touched until a move's final step, so cancelling is safe.

\n

Use Pause, Resume and Cancel All in the header of the Moves panel.

\n
  • Pause lets whatever is mid-copy finish but starts nothing new until you resume.
  • Resume carries on with the queue.
  • Cancel All stops every in-flight, queued and waiting move cleanly.
\n

Cancelling is always safe: your originals aren't touched until the final step of each move. Moves waiting their turn are shown separately from the ones actually copying.
