We’ve added a real-time progress indicator and a safety lock to the Data Transfer tool within **MyPressable**. Instead of relying on quick, temporary success messages that disappear, the dashboard now maintains a steady status view to give clear visibility into ongoing background site moves and prevent accidental duplicate transfers.

**Updates & Navigation**

- **Persistent Status Tracking:** A new “In Progress” badge with a spinning icon stays visible on the Data Transfer card for as long as a background move is running.
- **Automatic Safeguard Locks:** The button to launch a transfer automatically disables itself while a job is active, ensuring you can’t accidentally trigger overlapping data moves.
- **Status Notifications:** Opening the tool during an active transfer displays a clear reminder that a move is already running and that a confirmation email will be sent when it finishes.
- **Smart Dashboard Resets:** The page automatically detects when a background transfer wraps up and refreshes itself to immediately return the tool to its ready state.

**How to Get Started**

Head over to the **Site Tools** section of any site undergoing a data move. The **Data Transfer** card will show its real-time status and automatically unlock itself once the background process finishes.
