What do Enabled, Paused and "Disabled (monitor only)" mean on the Auto-actions line?

\n

Short answer: Enabled means automatic actions run when allowed, Paused means you paused them (click Resume), and Disabled (monitor only) means Storage Studio only watches and reports.

\n

The Auto-actions line in the popover status says whether Storage Studio may act on its own:

\n
  • Enabled — automatic moves and clean-ups run when your Quiet Hours allow.
  • Paused — you clicked Pause; click Resume to continue.
  • Disabled (monitor only) — automatic actions are switched off, and Storage Studio only watches and reports.
\n

In every state the app keeps updating its status.
