# What does the move progress sheet show, and can I hide it?

It shows the move's status ("Moving to fast drive…", "Move complete" or "Move failed"), a live stats bar with how much has transferred, the speed, the estimated time left and the file count, and a log naming each step and each file as it transfers.

Click **Hide** to keep the move running out of sight; the folder's row shows a **Moving…** pill, and clicking it brings the sheet back. **Cancel** stops the move while it's running. If you quit and relaunch mid-move, Storage Studio re-attaches to it automatically.

When it can't estimate the time yet, it says so rather than showing a number it would have to take back.
