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

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

- **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.

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.
