# Recover a take that stopped early

If a tab closed or Chrome quit during a take, the library shows it under Needs attention. Press Recover to get back what was recorded.

Where to find it: Library › Needs attention

1. Open the [library](https://pointercam.com/library).
2. Look for **Needs attention** at the top.
3. On the take, press **Recover**. What was recorded up to the moment it stopped comes back as a normal take.

## What each message means

- **It stopped mid-take. What was recorded can be recovered.**: Press **Recover**.
- **It is in the extension. The footage survived and can be recovered.**: Press **Bring in** to copy it from the extension into the library. Nothing is uploaded.
- **It stopped mid-take and left nothing to recover.**: The take ended before any footage was saved. Delete it.
- **The page closed before it was done.**: An import was cut short. Delete it and import the file again.
