Checking the status of an imported file on the "Imported files" screen

The Imported files screen shows the progress and results of the import actions you've performed, sorted by the Submitted date and time in descending order, with 20 items per page.

The screen refreshes automatically.
Imported files disappear from the Imported files screen three days after the date and time specified in the Submitted column. Also, when an app is deleted, files that were imported into the deleted app will no longer be displayed.
