# Recording not uploading or processing

> Distinguish an interrupted upload from background proofing.

First check whether the page shows upload progress or proofing progress. They are separate stages.

## The upload did not finish

* Keep the page open during upload.
* Check your connection, file format, and the limits shown in the upload form.
* Select the same file and use **Resume upload** when offered. Uploaded parts are reused where available.
* If the audio file itself is unreadable, export a new copy from your recording software and try that file.

An incomplete replacement upload leaves the previous recording current.

## The upload finished, but there are no findings yet

Look for **Checking your recording** and the processing stage. Once uploading is complete, proofing can continue in the background while the page is closed.

If you see **Proofing needs attention**, read the error and use [Retry proofing](/troubleshooting/proofing-failed) when available.

## The queue seems to show the wrong work

Confirm the selected chapter, current filename, and active filter. **Pickups** shows confirmed work; **To review** shows undecided findings. Refresh the queue if another tab or a replacement upload changed the current source.
