# The Queue Monitor

Media operations such as consolidate and transcode are performed automatically as background tasks in Nara. When you submit an operation it is added to the queue and will be processed according to its position in the queue.

The status and completion of these operations can be checked using the Queue Monitor.

To access the queue monitor, click on the main Nara 'actions button' (the small cog-wheel button at the top right-hand corner of the left panel) and click on Queue Monitor in the pop-up menu:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/qZPuFd9BHo7P85Br1x8U" alt="" width="234"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

This will open the queue monitor in a floating window:
