# Jobs

What each indexing state means and what to do when a run fails or stalls.

**Jobs** lists every upload with its state, its passage count and when it last changed. While something is indexing, the page refreshes on its own.

## States

| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Uploading | The file hasn't finished uploading yet. |
| Queued | The file is stored and waiting to be indexed. |
| Indexing… | Lornos is reading the file and building its passages. |
| Searchable | Done. Answers can cite its passages. |
| Failed | Indexing stopped. The reason is shown under the file name. |
| Stalled | Indexing showed no progress for 5 minutes. |
| Format not indexed yet | The file is stored, but its format can't be read right now. |

## Actions

The button at the end of the row depends on the state:

- **Index now** for a file that is stored but not indexed yet.
- **Retry** for a failed or stalled run.
- **Re-index** for a searchable file, to build its passages again.

A re-index replaces the source's passages with the new ones.

A file whose format can't be read right now has no button; it can be indexed once the format can be read.

If a run keeps failing, the reason under the file name says what went wrong in plain terms. Uploading the file again as a new source is always safe.
