# Apply pending batches and updates from Monitor

> Act on Batch pending, Update pending and Pipeline changes pending items in Mammoth Monitor's Needs Attention tab, and fix items that need your input.
>
> Applies to: Where: Monitor › Needs Attention › Pending

The **Pending** section of Monitor's **Needs Attention** tab lists new data waiting to be applied, draft pipeline changes, and files that need your input. Click **Monitor** at the bottom of the left sidebar, then **Needs Attention**. Each item has a button that applies it or takes you to it.

## Apply a pending batch

**Batch pending** means new data has arrived at a destination and is waiting to be applied. The row shows "Batch pending", the source View name, "New batch received 5 minutes ago", the row count and the destination or operation (for example `Join: Orders 2026` or `Source: Sales`).

| Action | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **View Batch** | Previews the incoming data before you commit it (when the destination is a dataset) |
| **Update** | Applies the batch now. A spinner shows while it runs, and the row disappears when done |
| **Copy link to clipboard** | For Live Link destinations only: copies the live link URL to share |

A Batch pending item appears when a Join or Lookup source View receives new data, a connector export or Publish-as-Database destination receives new data, a cross-project dependency's source updates, or a Live Link's external source changes. When the source link has Auto-sync off, the batch is held: the row reads "new batch received, auto-sync off" and shows **Preview** and **Process** instead. Items clear when the destination is updated or Auto-sync is turned back on.

## Fix pending items that need your input

Other pending items that need your input appear in the same section: **Ambiguous date format**, **Password required** (a password-protected file), **Schema mismatch**, **Sheet selection required** and **Unstructured rows**. Each has a button such as **Select sheets**, **Fix batch settings** or **Fix settings** that takes you to the item.

## Run a pending update

**Update pending** means a destination that isn't a dataset (for example an export) has new source data. The row shows the View name, row count and export type (for example *66,943 rows · Export: MySQL*). Click **Update** to run it now. The row can also show **Copy link to clipboard** for a Live Link. After a successful update, a toast reads "Update data".

## Apply pending pipeline changes

**Pipeline changes pending** means a pipeline has draft changes not yet applied. The row shows the dataset, View name and task count (for example *6 tasks ready to run*). Pipelines with errors come first. Click **Go to View** to review or apply the changes.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "Some of the pending items could not be updated. Please verify them." | An update failed for some items | Check each item on its own |
