The Progress tab, located in the Contents pane area, provides detailed information about each single current user's migration status. As one user's migration is finished, the progress bar will reach 100 %.

NOTE: For Azure Turbo Synchronized migration, the progress bar will wait until all of the Azure jobs are finished and synchronization of Azure logs is completed. As one user's migration is finished, the next one will be started and the same process will continue. |
